Artist statement.
I work in a pendular way between abstraction and figuration, exploring painting as a medium that integrates the material, the narrative, and the gesture that constructs it. The repeated, automated stroke becomes a physical and performative act, directly connected to the body—my body as a tool of production and the bodies that emerge and fade within the work. This focus on gesture often leads me to experiment with other materials, such as ceramics, alternative supports, or the structure of folding screens. Through these explorations, I seek to disrupt the preconfigured images saturating digital media, proposing new approaches to visual and narrative representation. My work embraces experimentation, avoiding linear methods to redefine the final outcome through processes of discovery and transformation.
