Statement
Artist. Through the use of diverse languages and contemporary aesthetics, he performs reflective exercises on the narratives that construct us as social subjects. These exercises open questions about our social, collective and political heritages, where stigmas and certain heritages are a reason to be viewed with suspicion or to be excluded from the conversation about the construction of national and collective history and memory.
