How do they build us while looking at us from the outside?
How can we take a look inside and reflect upon what we think we are?
I work with the women’s universe and their inner spaces: the unceded but earned spaces, both in care and risk.
My artwork is conjugated upon a resistant material full of enigmas. I proposed myself to treat this material as an equal, to converse with it and to respect it. Through this process, I create images that invite the viewer to contemplate, examine, and touch. To find a lingering pain inside the emptiness.
I use fire perforations as a metaphor for both power and fragility. I have a passion for heat, which is a mark of my childhood. I used to feel the warmth on my face being close to a forge, surrounded by hammers and tools made for dominating iron. There are no limits to my expression when I forge. I appropriate my surroundings to construct new ones from metal. Sometimes, brightness summons me to employ copper or bronze as allies.
There is a moment in life where the truth manifests and it encloses you. I decided to embrace both metal and flame as two passions in constant struggle, as vehicles to explore a secret world full of wonders. Drawing with fire allows me to accomplish dreams and create new ones. I make my artwork embody both strong and sensitive qualities. Mothers, lovers, sisters. A feminine sculpture.
My projects encompass both macro and micro universes, in a search for an invisible body to notice the empathy of the observer. To give them the necessary hierarchy to transit life with the accompanying realities and fantasies.
