Artist Statement: 
My work uses science and mass media to illustrate the anxiety the chaos of our world generates in us. I aim to reflect the isolation of those who may be ignored or shy but still want to be seen. The beauty is there, waiting to be discovered, unseen because we cannot shed our prejudices.

I use my artistic practice to help people to build their own imagined things and connect with their world through art. I do it, because I love to push the boundaries of the perception of our own bodies and their influence in our social relations and our own emotions and fears. That is why I feel attracted to conceptual ambiguities, aesthetic paradoxes and dark irony.

What drives me is the necessity to narrate histories that happen at the side roads and alleys. Everybody is connected because they live in communities; we share the same fate. I use beauty and ugliness to make people pay attention to what is happening around, as with my ACCIDENTAL POLITICAL and my ACCIDENTAL EROTICA.

In my WILDLINES series I interact with my subjects to make an imaginary topography of the person I see (kinda of soul cartography), using Kandinsky’s theories in "Point and Line to Plane" and a very physical, albeit elaborate drawing.

The "not my problem" excuse becomes futile when you are emotionally engaged in the contemplation of the others' intimacy in a familiar landscape you call home.
