STATEMENT

My artwork since this last decade has been marked in a very personal and intimate way with the concepts of migration, memory and living. Based on these concepts I work with the idea of ​​the city, through my gaze and the image, questioning the territory in which I live to be able to recognize myself in what is in front of me, to find my identity.

We inhabit a space but memory also inhabits us. The person transforms the place but the place also makes the person. It seeks this relationship between the body and space, to apprehend and retain any moment in the here and now in a world that is constantly transforming.

In this way I am also in constant exploration of materials, from the photographic image, the merely constructive such as concrete or drawing and encaustic that lead me to represent the ephemeral of the moment.
