ARTIST STATEMENT

My body of work consists of research-based compositions inspired by cultural, social, and ecological issues. These works begin with the singular and resonate with the plural, primarily taking the form of large-scale drawings and paintings on paper.

To achieve this, I start with life drawings of people, objects, and landscapes, as well as other representative elements—symbols, signs, letters, and figures—that I create, adapt, or appropriate from various contexts.

These elements interact with one another and with the viewer in choreographed arrangements. This creative process embraces associations, confrontations, mistranslations, and errors that draw attention to differences from the original intent while fostering plural interpretations.

The content of these works can revolve around any theme, though it is always rooted in a profound belief in human intersubjectivity and solidarity— a desire for understanding—which they aim to celebrate.

In this sense, more than the initial inspiration for each piece (often only subtly referenced in the final image), what matters is what emerges during the creative process: accidents that reference time, space, and change—unreproducible, unrepeatable, and uncontrollable. Yet, because they are anchored in representation, these elements are interpreted as such, becoming metaphors for what is and isn’t intelligible, merging the two for consideration.
