- Artist Statement
I´ve always been curious. I always wondered about the hidden face of everything I see. I watch everything: the world, nature, the changes reflected in history, and how each one of those elements contains a whole environment where we live. Therefore, if I alter its elements, and question them, If I move them, the result gives place to a whole new narrative, that incites you to find new questions and ideas.
That bird that we see, Is perhaps the same one that our ancestors fed?
Our face in the mirror, Is perhaps the fruit of a collage of time?
Throughout the collage, I contemplate while being moved by my poetry, my mythology.
My work as a collage artist is influenced by my life as a writer, it is a permanent dialogue feeding back, and both faces have the pictures as the center.
When creating my work, I look for vintage supports. Papers where the pass of the time has left a mark. Classical pictures or markedly old-time, like the ones in the '40s, '50s, and '60s. Those pictures acquire a new meaning in a new space, finding their voice in a new era that watches and questions the observer but also, its internal construction gets exposed.
My way of working and composing is completely manual, exploring my books, magazines or old newspapers collection, those pictures inviting me, that resonates with my message to spread. Once I choose them, I trim them patiently along the time it requires.
The foundations of my work are the feminine universe, nature in its pure condition, history, and literature. In those subjects, I immerse myself over and over again, to discover myself, to ask questions, to dream, to open a path with a new timeline, for those who accept to get in there.
