I’m interested in developing images that propose a sense of estrangement from figuration and time, delving into representations of the past—classical sculpture and its ruins, medieval illustrations, the ornamentation and functionality of furniture and architecture—as if questioning present-day representations.
My body of work encompasses paintings, drawings, and sculptures, where human figures abound, appearing more like remnants of themselves, engaging in a decadent interplay with the inanimate remnants of civilization. I work with a limited repertoire of visual elements: the trace of the stroke and the expressiveness of the brushstroke; the soft, solemn, and luminous touch of smooth blue velvet; the contrast between light plywood and dark phenolic resin; the fluorescent orange color that stands out like living flesh.
My works share an interest in the hybrid, driven by a narrative always concerned with the transmission of a human-animal-object event—an attempt at animistic survival in an inactive world.
