ART
Building pathways of meaning through the analysis of critical discourse and the visual re-construction of reasons and sensations.
My practice navigates space, perception, and the human condition through the intertwined forces of survival and faith. I approach social tacit cultures as abstract embodiments that weave architectures of the imagined, where landscape, memory, and difference converge. Each work enacts rather than represents, and it forms lived encounters that unfold across thresholds of the visible and the invisible, the material and the potential of the many future circumstances that arise from thought, memory, sensuality, and hope.
What emerges is not resolution but transformation, since these are experimental spaces where survival becomes creative and where art reveals itself as both a scholarly inquiry and an intimate act of resistance.

Conectados (2015) | Movement | Body | Space | Technology
As we are born, our first introduction to space is our body. Space becomes a place of possibilities as we identify how to expand the meaning of our senses within it. As we produce, we become embedded with circumstance elevating our need of knowledge to become free. But what does it mean to be free? In this era, we are producers of stories, property and meaning. Towards what end can we live vicariously or in a never-ending pursuit of unachievable satisfactions. When does technology simply signifies the benign? It is our flowing, liquid self, organized in codes of thought that enable the baste of an ever construction of emergent reality with otherness.
