“My search revolves around an analysis of the space where I find myself and move. I investigate the area to be able to soak up visual, sound and sensory experiences. In this context I propose the answers to
an interaction with the city, spaces of analysis to generate dialogues and reflections on topics relevant to cultures, contemporary societies and relationships with people, situations and experiences that I come to externalize through my work.
My proposal is a critical response to man, to the idioms of the time, current society, the city and the overflow of information that it shows us in its different facets.”
