Statement
My artistic practice is a sacred space where I play freely with an ever-evolving identity. It reflects on impermanence and my connection with the environment. From a naive, intuitive approach, creating from the unknown is essential—repetition and reflection merge past and future. Through this dialogue, I build a symbolic language where reason and emotion meet. Myth shapes beings and landscapes born from imagination, rethinking shadow, femininity, language, sexuality, and spirituality to express a dynamic, decolonized, and timeless identity.
