I create works that, through their texture and complexity, they explore the concepts of body, gender, identity and “belonging”. The aim of my work is to review the normality and limits set by Western, capitalist, patriarchal societies. Through my works, individually but also as a whole, I’m interested in building a world of authenticity, where the “other” and the “foreign” are always welcome, far from oppressive orders. I am interested in the parallelism between the history of materials in art and the human life, as well as the transformation of an experience into a visual artwork. As a result, I work with a wide range of materials, chosen specifically for each project.
