My practice is anchored in drawing as a gesture that threads the hand, the head and the heart. Drawing as the effort through which architectural problems are depicted and solved, becomes a choreography that negotiates agency with the specific behaviour of different pigments, tools and surfaces in the field of painting and, recently, in an approach to sculpture.
This action involving the body offers a way to resist and metabolise the media overflow. I explore the perceptive contradictions between the empirist logic of the vision as the antechamber of the touch and the sterile smoothness of tactile navigation across the virtual space. This translates in a use of layers to simultaneously stage depth and emphasize the superficial nature of the medium.
My interests revolve around the inexhaustible symbolic capacity of natural elements like clouds, stars or flowers, the limits of the human body, the gaze, and the things that happen away from it. Threads, limbs, stems or nets insist on physicality and connection to uncertain environments, directing my work in a quest for what is capable of sustaining a collapsing image.
The architectural interventions I conceive and develop –always with friends– emulate the cycles of nature through sequences, anamorphism, pattern variation, color and honest construction systems that allow for a readable assembly process. The desire to build these works lies in the conviction that generosity towards public spaces inspire a renewed sense of collective care and enjoyment.
