Visual artist.
My work is materialized mainly in painting, but I also explore other mediums such as posters, installations, scenographies, illustrated books and also textiles.
I approach painting in an expanded sense, delving into its symbolic, spatial, and sensory dimensions, pushing beyond the traditional boundaries of the frame.
Central to my practice is a deep fascination with color as a form of expression. This naturally extends to a focus on form and material, as these elements are inherently interconnected. My work frequently investigates the materiality of the artistic work, examining the materials used, their origins, their future, and their inherent qualities and potential.
My practice is grounded in experimentation and research, with a strong emphasis on process and experience. Manual and artisanal techniques such as dyeing, sewing, felting, printing, and weaving, form the backbone of my approach. These processes arise from a hands-on experience, rooted in an intuitive flow between mind, hands, and heart, though not necessarily in that order.
I am constantly looking for people to collaborate with, to mutually inspire each other by merging knowledge, ways of working, and disciplines, and to immerse ourselves in processes and pieces of collective creation.
