STATEMENT
​
"The greatest work of art is nature, after this, every piece of art is a mediation.
The mediation that I pursue to express with the work that I present is to be able to approach the understanding of consciousness,
consciousness beyond reflection, underlying and not contingent.
We are the reflection and we are also the water and the lake"
​
​
​
"Perception re-constructs our reality, but it does not show us reality itself, we are left with a game of representations that make imagination and creativity possible, it is between this dance of materiality and subtlety where I investigate the patterns of Indra's jewels to make art and philosophical approaches to our precious existence."
