Statement
She works with synthetic enamel, a paint for industrial use. Her paint is built on the basis of the exhaustive relationship with that same material. She researches and experiments to the different limits and plastic possibilities of that matter: fragility, the passage of time, the concrete as opposed to fiction. Geographies that are associated with the universal, with internal rhythms of the neuronal biological body and with mineral or geological textures.
In her paintings she shows the liquid quality, the mixing processes and the form. In each painting she exhibits the presence of unrepresented painting. The painting and its drying times between the liquidity of the matter and the final solidification of the surface, become an axis for the development of its practice.
