Statement
Multidisciplinary artist interested in the intersection of science, nature and technology.
How does nature influence us? How do we collaborate with nature through biotechnology, bio-mimetics and art? “There is something hidden in the secret life of natural organisms that hides the true natural intelligence that I like to explore in every project I carry. There is a certain ancestral and evolutionary biophilia; within all of us and that affects our behavior and way of thinking. My projects always start by investigating the smallest organisms and thus their secret resilience abilities. When researching natural intelligence I find the best means to be able to represent a concrete idea that represents my previous research. Usually for sculptures, installations and video performances.
