My oeuvre seeks a society, which I usually represent with one individual that happen to be in a repressive and controlled environment, often under the guise of being utopian or ideal.
I always explore the reality, not in effort to represent the narrative on great stories, but to response to the direct testimony of my personal experience.
Intimacy, oppression, seduction, adornment, disease, tradition and body are present concepts in my works.
Objects, furniture, dresses are as skin, like the surface or matter though which we relate to the world: it is the point of nexus between the outside and the inner self and, in that frontier zone, it participates as much of the characteristics of what is objective as of that which is subjective. I create and transform objects, materials and concepts, which derive from our collective consciousness to mean something different for each viewer. These elements are subjectivised objects. Also the objects are imbued with the capacity to relate.
I intend to reveal in juxtaposition and in ambiguity.
In the last 12 years, different bodies of works focusing on the relation of subject to its physical and psychological environment. The bodies of work are called: Trapped, About Seduction, Offerings and Possessions, The Passage of Time and Displacements.
In Trapped, a series of sculptures and photographs investigates disturbing of the everyday and our interdependence with the closely surroundings.
About Seduction seeks about the rituals and strategies to seduce.
Offerings and Possessions focus on the desire to posses and how we need to offer ourselves to gain it.
The Passage of Time reflects on the transience and the sensation of caducity.
Displacements seeks on our coexistence with nature exploring ways we have altered and rebuilt to turn it into an adornment.
The act of dressing is very important part in my artwork because dressing enters into the majority of our daily activities. We dress everyday to prepare our body for the social world, making it appropriate, acceptable and desirable to others. We also dress our furniture, ours cushions, armchairs… As any other daily act, this one also seems ordinary. But what it looks like casual individual choice is not. The dressing is the result of the stereotypes. Clothing is a costume for a role. The daily act of dressing is far away of being peaceful, is entirely on the side of violence, the violence of conformity, of adhering to models, the violence of the social consensus and the contempt it conceals with it.
Everyday we dress with the opposites unifying them within one composition and this is what is my work about: violence and calm, submissiveness and forcefulness, male and female, the eternity and the instant, photography and sculpture.
