Artist Statement
My interest in abstraction lies in the expression or representation of something that is abstract in nature through the action of the body on the surface. My focus in painting is on the creation, observation and expression of a sensorial-emotional and conceptual experience created through painting, not on the creation of an aesthetic image itself. The works thus become representations of situations, thoughts and experiences of an abstract nature.
One of the central points in my artistic practice is the exploration of the materiality of paint, from liquid to pasty, and its application to a surface. Through the creation of layers, the putting and taking, building and undoing of paint on the canvas, I talk about the impermanence and fluidity of things.
I'm interested in the concept of form as a fluid thing related to the bodily awareness of a certain space at a certain moment in time, like an organism in constant change.
The gestural actions and pictorial situations go beyond the surface of the canvases, giving them a spatial-sculptural character.
My process is intuitively directed, taking as a reference the concept described by Deleuze of 'intuition as method'. I study a theme through the emotional body, observing how the body moves and what moves inside it and then exploring the determinants such as choosing colors and directing the body to come into contact with the canvas and paint. I am interested in the connection and expression of the spirit in this act.
