I studied Architecture and Industrial Design. My artistic practice reflects in a highly distinctive way my training in these two dissimilar yet interconnected fields. My works include objects, sculptures, writings, spatial constructions and site-specific interventions, using a vocabulary that points directly to the history of art and architecture.

Mis obras incluyen objetos, esculturas, escritos, construcciones espaciales e intervenciones de sitio específico, usando un vocabulario que apunta de manera directa a la historia del arte y la arquitectura.
