Biografia
The use of typically discarded materials comes from my interest to reuse, transform and the intrinsic desire to connect and find life.
I like to preserve a certain «otherness,» remaining in a disciplinary twilight zone between painting and sculpture. I paint with fabric that brings into my work a little nostalgia, a sensory and femenine experience that links perfectly with more masculine materials as iron, wood made structures. It also brings the tactile experiences of cutting, and tearing as well as the colors and contrasts of my Spanish roots… The colorful, baroque and almodovarian Spain and the mystic and austere one, a place where tragedy connects with lightness, where death is just a consequence of life.
