I explore the darkness and vulnerability of the human being to generate dialogue, reflection and social sensitivity.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I am not limited to a single technique or style; each project requires a different way of being created. I freely explore drawing, illustration, engraving, sculpture and painting as a means of materializing ideas and questions. My interest is not in pigeonholing me, but in allowing each work to find its own language. Beyond the technique or style, what is really important to me is the strength, the impact and the end result of the work.
Where do you find inspiration?In the longings, in the worlds that I do not inhabit, in the beings that exist within a banal reality and in the deformations of what nobody observes; in the most insignificant for the human gaze, where it is still possible to transform an ephemeral reality.
What would you do with $25,000?One cannot talk about what has not been obtained, but art can create an instant of longings and infinite possibilities.
