statement

My artistic practice is based on redefining the established, through the deconstruction and reconstruction of original universes with their own rules and logic.

​

There is an investigation of the participating elements, and based on that, I establish the theme to be developed. I modify preexisting elements and ideas, express a new idea, and that is where I express my concerns.

​

I base my work on nature, the transformation of landscapes and territories, and gender identity. I primarily work with analog and digital collage, photography articulated with the exploration of the geometric world.

​

I investigate the fourth dimension, where we are connected in the coordinates of time and space. A portal for the construction of infinity. The visual possibility of the impossible.
