Statement
Nureña’s artistic practice is built around the revisiting of images that circulate within social and family contexts, many of them linked to working-class experiences. Through this everyday archive, his work explores how personal and family histories intertwine with collective narratives, seeking to understand how individual experience can reflect a shared story.
At the same time, his work questions the current condition of images and their capacity to produce meaning. Through processes of rereading, displacement, and reorganization of existing images, Nureña examines how images circulate, transform, and acquire new meanings in the present.
