Translated from Spanish
My work, influenced by my formation as a filmmaker and the constant contact with architecture, make me incorporate elements such as abstraction, geometry, memory, light, shadow, the relationships that exist in the creation processes and interaction with life itself.
The process is part of the result within itself, which makes us discover places or questions that we would not make if it wasn’t for that constant search and experimentation of situations and experiences.
The way I materialize my ideas—photography, painting, sculpture and video.
Based on the concept in which the goal is in the process of creation more than in the result, I always seek to let myself be guided by accidents and the unknown, to be able to explore new ideas of expression and abstraction.
Mi trabajo, influenciado por una formación como cinematógrafo y el constante contacto con la arquitectura hacen que incorpore elementos como la abstracción, la geometría, la memoria, la luz, la sombra, la relación que existe en los procesos de creación e interacción con la vida misma.
El proceso es parte del resultado en sí mismo; aquel que hace que descubramos lugares o preguntas que no nos formularíamos si no fuera por esa constante búsqueda y experimentación de situaciones y experiencias.
Las forma en la que materializo mis ideas son: fotografía, pintura, escultura y video.
Basado en el concepto de que la meta está en el proceso de creación más que en el resultado, siempre busco dejarme llevar por los accidentes y lo desconocido para explorar nuevas ideas de expresión y abstracción.
