Biography
We have got to the point on history, where 1984 is not a science fiction any more. Technology acts like a double edge sword, that on the one hand offers every day solutions, but on the others ends up disconnecting us from our basic instincts. My artworks rise from a sociological-anthropological research, where I mix empirical research (specially ethnographical techniques and ‘flâneur’ through the city) with literature review. My research is based on how screen touch technology, among others encourage a ‘rational’ disconnection from our tactility. Contrasting the results with what has happened in ancient civilizations, like Easter Island, because perhaps humanity tends to a rational disconnection. I attempt to expose through diverse media (goldsmith, painting, etching, sculpture, photography), how in an attempt to explain everything through rationality we are rationing or reducing humans to just a rational being. Therefore through my artworks I intend to invite to reassess our haptic sensitiveness. Hence my expressions on different media are always handmade. Because maybe the only thing that humanity needs to recover is our haptic ability of feeling the world.
