My work talks about the essence of everyday life, memory and dreams. I generate a fast and loose painting. Different characters and everyday objects that tell stories appear. Through painting I look for a way to communicate ideas, thoughts and worlds. Through color and the line a movement is understood in the objects as well as in the different planes. The tones appear according to each situation and they enhance the idea as well as the forms. Inside the painting there are two readings, the object and the situation and a mysterious and incomprehensible part. This makes the viewer generate a thought through it. Every day I look for infinite possibilities to paint, the selection of situations or objects goes according to the feelings that I may have at each moment.

Painting is a constant dialogue with the space that surrounds me and with myself, a reflection. I generate a constant collection of images such as dreams, situations and feelings from the daily diary. It is through memory and observation of color that the idea is sparked. My gaze is like a highlighter, I give importance and accentuate nature, which often goes unnoticed and we forget the value it has on this earth. I use painting as a tool, the display is related to the image, I can have paintings on large format fabric (2 meters) giving the idea of beings like organic plants. While I can have paintings in “nano” size (3cm), matchbox, playing with the idea of turning on memory and fragmenting images, this paintings can work together as well as separately. On the other hand, I work on paintings in round formats, accentuating the idea of the cycles of the earth and women. 

For me painting is a daily necessity, I generate a loose and fast painting, many times I use my problems and feelings as a resource to develop it. At the same time, I keep an analogue diary with my grandfathers camera, this serves as an emotional resource to support ideas. The color and texture of the oil is fundamental for the development of each idea, saturated and desaturated gives strength to my message. The texture generates a combination of colors on the canvas that often does not mix and therefore the lines of color and the brushstroke are seen, something highly characterized in my painting. Lately I use resources such as my grandfathers plant books, different old stamps and a series of plants that I research and reproduce in water. Later I plan to analyze them under a microscope.

Within my painting I develop themes related to nature, it is essential to give it a value and respect that many times it does not have and they even replace it with concrete and plastic. I generate different islands bodies, vegetation including human hair referring to human body vegetation. Roots in water, final landscapes, fragmented landscapes. I play with images on matchboxes referring to this warming that ignites, fragments and destroys ecosystems. The color pink, for example, questions plastic consumption contrasted with earthy colors on islands. On the other hand it developed wild thistles with dramatized thorns giving strength to the plant. The color red is extremely present in different paintings, it connects with this water of warming and in turn that blood red of the female cycle. I find a relationship between the exotic plants found on the Island on Menorca and on the Peruvian Pacific coast. I find an interesting connection between old stamps from around the world, representative iconography of each country, plants that were often transferred just like people. On the other hand, I keep a long photographic diary with my camera that serves as an explanatory and playful space for color, as well as reproducing plants in water, understanding the root and growth. 

Painting is a constant exercise, it is in constant transformation and makes me aware every day. Nature is shaking us with devastating climate change. The body in seasons (climate), complex situations that enrich a trajectory and continuous process. I keep curiosity on the surface, my driving force. I awaken sensitivity, I question where I am and what I am doing and where I want to be. The plant is a living mirror of the human being.
