ARTIST STATEMENT<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Being aware of the context and reality in which my work is inscribed, I am moved by a deep interest in gender studies, critical and decolonial theory, modern dichotomies, territory and the seemingly less relevant aspects that permeate our everyday life. With my work, I tend to elaborate critical reflections and commentaries, highlighting how everyday life is often infused by social mechanisms that perpetuate the continuous process of marginalization in a system rooted in power relations. These relations may manifest themselves through differences of race, class, gender or species, among others.\nStarting from the conceptual conditions that I wish to address in each project, I focus my search and experimentation towards the media and materials that can best express and deepen these ideas. Through a constant exploration of the intersection between conceptual research and material experimentation, I work in various media, such as painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography and video among others, selecting each one according to the direction of my research and the specific conceptual needs of each project. Therefore, my work focuses on the exploration of ideas and the creation of meaningful connections between the concept and its material manifestation.<\/p>\n
