Artist Statement

As a multidisciplinary artist, my work explores the traces left by time and the transformations it brings about in beings, places, and objects. Notions of memory, fragility, and repair run through my entire practice. Across different media, I am interested in what persists after a rupture — a fracture, a fissure, a loss — and its resonances within us. These individual and collective fault lines can take the form of the memory of conflict, of collective loss, or of ecological fragility. I see rupture as a starting point for questioning processes of recomposition and reconstruction.

I find these processes of recomposition again in my visual language, shaped by my background in fashion design and sewing. Working with textiles, observing how a garment is constructed around the body — assembling, sewing, and mending — are foundational gestures that shaped my early creative practice and that echo in my artistic work today. Fragmentation, juxtaposition, layering, and the interplay of textures become a language that is both formal and symbolic, one that I push further in my mosaic practice.

For several years now, my practice has brought installation, mosaic, and painting into dialogue within a conceptual approach in which the work becomes an experience, unfolding through the creative process, the space, and the relationship with the viewer. My practice draws on traditional mosaic craftsmanship while engaging with contemporary research, blending classic materials with repurposed or upcycled pieces. In certain recent works, visible repair, inspired by kintsugi, becomes a way of bringing to light the traces of rupture and their evolution. I am also interested in repurposing forms, objects, and supports, transforming them into spaces of memory and reflection. This work of repurposing gives rise to a different narrative, where the original form, once functional, becomes a bearer of care, loss, and fragility.

My work also engages with public space through urban interventions, where mosaic becomes a gesture of repair. In sidewalk cracks, on a rock, or in other places, here and as far as Mexico, I insert fragments of materials to create ephemeral works that question notions of care, memory, and our relationship to the urban landscape.
