With a practice grounded in painting and drawing I initially depicted utopian landscapes teeming with lush flora and fauna imagery. I later expanded my media choices to embroidery, collage, three dimensional objects and installations. While still referencing the natural world I now focus in the domestic scenario through domestic materials and found objects that I alter, deconstruct and eventually invade. I use this platform to trace my own investigation about transcultural influences, gender role, social standards and aesthetics.
My action is going to find out, to search, which is the opposite of going to say or show something that is known in advance. The natural world, ornaments, dreams, landscapes and elements of everyday life, are involved in this process.
The construction of a visual language to go beyond the limits of words and to explore the possibility of freedom, was the reason of my first approach to art. Initially, I focused on the natural elements painting utopian landscapes and scenes. Through time, I deconstructed the notion of painting in its traditional forms, going into a diversity of techniques that led me to expand and deepen my conceptual exploration. I use the word “hybridizations” for a series of works that were (and still are) in a territory that can not be consider unique, univalent or pure.
There is something that is very sensitive in the hand made process, something that contacts in a very direct way with human fragility. The manual quality is something that I use as an aesthetic trace and also as a way to imprint some kind of aura. At the same time technology is something that affects human activity including art, right now we have the chance to be part of a project like this magazine because of that.
We live in times where changes happens really fast. This is of course reflected in art. Maybe I can imagine many scenarios but I prefer to be grounded in the present, with an open attitude and to be attentive enough to respond and co-create a dialogue.
