ARTIST'S STATEMENT
My work is a journey through the realms of my subconscious, providing a space to recognize and process emotions, seeking spirituality and deeper meaning in life.
Highlighting the transient nature of existence, I create multilayered photography underwater, the process that forces me to submerge and face my fears. This underwater realm mimics the liminal state of mind—an initiation just before meeting with one’s new self.
In the context of metamodernism, my art reflects the oscillation between hope and despair, sincerity and irony, striving to compress the indeterminacy of time into a single image, capturing moments in forms not normally visible to the naked eye.
I incorporate elements from Ana Mendieta’s earth-body works and René Magritte’s technique of obscuring faces, creating a dialogue between the visible and the hidden. Inspired by Yves Klein, I use my body as a brush to express intense experiences and feelings as the means to release pain and seek catharsis.
Water, a powerful symbol of rebirth, becomes my co-creator, infusing my work with spontaneity and collaboration.
Thus, my art invites viewers to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery, using these visual narratives to confront their inner fears and embrace continuous change and rebirth.
