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.

Work occurs inside the intermittent activity conducted between things immediate and things suspended in thought: the familiar, the unknown and its eventual recombination. The employment of shifting materials and the recurrence of abstraction acts inside the practice as a reminder of all that persists only through relation: ideas which cannot be reflected upon without being translated, altered or negated. It is under these conditions that several aspects of the work are introduced; namely its particular use of the observer’s point of view, its relationship to a specific time of reading and the idea of a fragmentary expectation being the conduct in which the minor and the major activate their difference.
Traducido del inglés
El uso de materiales cambiantes y la recurrencia de la abstracción actúan dentro de la práctica como recordatorio de todo lo que persiste sólo por relaciones: ideas que no pueden reflejarse sin ser traducidas, alteradas o negadas. Es dentro de estas condiciones que muchos aspectos de la obra son introducidos; concretamente el uso particular del punto de vista del espectador, su relación con un tiempo específico de lectura y la idea de una expectativa fragmentaria como el conducto a través del cual lo menor y lo mayor activan su diferencia.
