« My work investigates the Body in its existence in contemporary society, according to different and convergent questions in the Aesthetic, Social and Political fields which come from experiences and observations about the relationship of Power to the Body. I explore how Power, in its different forms and with a plurality of objectives, techniques and tools, penetrates the Body and establishes, by a set of codes and norms, modes of perception of the Body and modes of existence. I question the effects of Power on the Body and Identity and, in parallel, the possibilities for emancipation and independence. My intention is in the questioning, an open questioning which is given to the spectators in different artistic forms to persist through themselves.
Time is an important component in my artistic process. Time - to think - to experiment - to produce - to place in space. Many of my artworks require a significant time to be realized, from a few months to several years, in the same way certain projects have several forms as if to signify the possibility of a creation time without limit or end and, by extension, a constant questioning. »
