STATEMENT
My artistic practice explores identity as a process in constant transformation, shaped by the body, intuition, symbol, and spirituality. I work with painting, writing, and sensory experiences to explore the human condition from its most subtle, emotional, and unconscious layers. My research integrates perspectives from psychoanalysis, astrology, philosophy, and metaphysics.
I conceive the body as a sacred territory—a living map where memory, emotion, and healing converge. Creation emerges not only from the mind, but through breath, skin, and sensation. Each piece is a ritual of embodiment, a way of translating the invisible into matter.
Working mostly in large formats allows me to inhabit freedom and surrender control, opening space for spontaneity and chaos. My creative process is cyclical, intuitive, and deeply connected to my life experiences, healing processes, and inner shifts. It reveals a sensory autobiography that evolves through layers of gesture, resonance, and symbolic language.
I’m interested in the magnetic fields between the personal and the collective, and how identity is shaped by what we inhabit—our landscapes, beliefs, memories, and spiritual connection. Through sacred geometries, archetypes, and the natural world, I weave a visual narrative that invites introspection and reencounter with the self.
Art, for me, is a threshold—a space between the real and the mystical, the individual and the communal. It is a language of resonance, a way to remember that we are not separate: we are rhythm, memory, territory, and soul.
