Overview

Made up of paintings, drawings and sculptures as a body of work, my artistic practice is highly committed to actions such as walking, observing and collecting.

I am engaged on presenting images as narratives of my own experience related to public spaces or transit places either from contemplation, or in function to propose an imagery as a poetic metaphor of the way one can perceive and appropriate landscape in general as well as partially.

In my work there is a constant tension between mimesis and abstraction. I conceive and elaborate my art pieces through multiple methodological operations that directly have effects on the outcome. De-construction and reconstruction procedures (regarding either form or color) that allow to create, figurative depictions characterized by fractional representations and also abstract forms, always involved in a manual production.
