STATMENT
My practice focuses on human nature and the psychological mechanisms that shape identity: the ego, fear, insecurity, the desire for recognition, and subjective perception.
I grew up in a conservative and patriarchal environment, within a lineage associated with economic power. Social expectations of belonging and implicit norms surrounding female behavior influenced my relationship with validation, performance, and self-demand. Thisled to a constant pursuit of unattainable ideals of perfection, as well as a tendency to classify and order reality.
From this experience, my work examines the tension between determinism and free will, between good and evil, strength and fragility, as well as the inherent limits in understanding others. I understand transformation as a continuous process shaped by time, and aging and death as inevitable structures of human experience.
These concerns engage with psychological and philosophical approaches to identity and the unconscious, particularly with Carl Jung’s concept of the Shadow and George Gurdjieff’s notion of internal multiplicity. I also find resonance in artistic practices that have explored subjectivity and the fragmentation of the self, such as thework of Francis Bacon and Egon Schiele, where the body and portrait become sites of psychological tension.
I further explore the coexistence of different planes of reality—dream, fantasy, and memory—as ways to analyze the construction of the self. I do not seek to formulate absolute answers or uphold rigid moral positions, but rather to open a space for observation of the contradictions inherent in human experience.
Formally, these concerns are developed through portraiture as a central framework for investigating identity. Figures often merge with their surroundings to suggest the permeability between individual and context, while the repetition of elements points to the fragmentation of the self. In series such as Tensión Interna (2025), I use spirals as references to temporal cycles; repeated eyes as allusions to perception and surveillance; and distorted or aged bodies to question ideals of perfection.
Another formal characteristic of my work is the pursuit of visual saturation and layered planes that emphasize subjectivity and the coexistence of multiple dimensions.
