In the work process, in the process of shaping and changing the nature exterior to him, man is shaped and changes himself: My work is presented as a system of questioning of the creative practice, of the execution, productive realization and notion of work. A search of meaning in the activity that makes possible not only locate its motive, the why of creating, but that would also allow to establish a critical vision of the role that the subject plays in the work environment. Revalue the creative practice and find meaning in the work through the experience in the continuous making: To determine my reality through the experience and practice of my creative abilities, whose activation allows the emergence of forms of subjectivity and one’s own knowledge. Therefore, experience, comprised of the development and accumulation of moments of execution and site-specific plastic exercise, allows me to establish a strategic and perspective relation from where to position facing that which surrounds us.
I recognize from the creative making my position as subject result of the possibilities, events, dialogue and interpretation. Place of continuous transformation, determined by the creative activity within the physical limitations of space and the materials. A scenario of action and experience.
My work is designed as a system of inquiry into creative practice. It is a search for meaning that not only uncovers motivation, answering the question of why to create, but also permits a critical appraisal of the role of the subject who performs personal work. Reassessing the creative process allows me to make sense of making art through experiencing its continual realization.
It consists of determining my subjective reality and setting in motion my creative faculties, which enable the emergence of new understandings. In this way, experience, consisting of the development and accumulation of moments of creation, informs my strategic orientation towards my surroundings.
Accordingly, I recognize that as the subject of creative doing, I am shaped by possibilities, events, dialogues and interpretations in a place of continual transformation, a setting of action and experience in which creative activity is restricted only by the physical limits of workspace and materials.
En el proceso del trabajo, en el proceso de moldear y cambiar la naturaleza exterior a él, el hombre se moldea y se cambia a sí mismo: Mi obra se presenta como un sistema de cuestionamiento de la práctica y del quehacer creativo, de la ejecución, realización productiva y la noción del trabajo. Una búsqueda de sentido en la actividad que posibilite no solo ubicar su motivación, el por qué crear, sino que también permita establecer una visión crítica del papel que desempeña el sujeto en el ambiente laboral.
Revalorizar la práctica creativa y encontrar sentido en el trabajo por medio de la experiencia en el hecho continuo de su realización: Determinar mi realidad por medio de la experiencia y puesta en marcha de mis facultades creativas, cuyo accionar permiten la emergencia de formas de subjetividad y conocimientos propios. Es así que la experiencia, constituida por el desarrollo y acumulación de momentos de ejecución y ejercicio plástico in situ, me permite el establecimiento de una relación estratégica y perspectiva desde donde situarse frente aquello que me rodea.
Reconozco desde el hacer creativo mi posición como sujeto fruto de lo eventual, el acontecimiento, el dialogo y la interpretación. Lugar de continua transformación, determinado por la actividad creativa dentro de los límites físicos del espacio y los materiales de trabajo. Un escenario de acción y experiencia.
