Biografia
I call myself an erroneous narrator. I invent and illustrate stories of identity confusions, plurality, and hidden symbols, all under the disguise of cruel eroticism.
My practice focuses on performance art and the ancient mixed technique of oil and tempera painting. The characters under my brush are all troubled with Dissociative Identity Disorder. These mental identical twins are endowed with convoluted limbs, pale piercings, and an intricate system of manipulation with red threads. Centering on multiplicity, my paintings comprises of myriad pictorial and philosophical layers that are simultaneously clarifying and confusing. With the meticulous technique of trompe l’oeil (French for “fool the eye”), I seek to deceive the audience, while intentionally revealing the fallacies to (mis)guide them into a universe of temporal and spatial discrepancies.
My performance art mirrors the fundamental elements in my paintings: erotica, red strings, bodily pain, manipulation and deception. Nevertheless, while a tableau is a distant scene contained in a picture frame, a performance is more intimate and more palpable. These actions of ephemeral existence complement my frozen images by audaciously illustrating taboo topics in real life.
My art would not be complete without the sinister fondness of symbolism. My works are full of words, images, and actions that carry veiled meanings. Through rich historical references, ornate details, and witty play of words, I discreetly lure my audience into a game of decryption.
