Artist's statement
I propose a complex reading of contemporary events through a transversal artistic practice. I question the political implications that strategies of production and circulation of information have on society. The conflicts depicted in my artwork reflect the psychosocial relationships of people from all fields.
​
I explore various techniques and media, to create pieces that generate indefinite spaces and transport atmospheres.
