ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My paintings are the result of a process of translation, visually filtering an image through my own
memories into paint. The paintings are an attempt to project the viewer into an imaginary space and
allow them to visually penetrate that space.
Through my art works a type of new pattern is occurring. Images are taken out from their real
context, transformed and given a completely new meaning in a new composition. New ephemeral
spaces are created. Spaces that are personal and collective experience and intend to disrupt the
usual expectations of painting. My works aim to bring together diverse, often contradictory
concepts, elements and to assemble them into powerful and at times unsettling images.
I am altering, manipulating coherent images and creating representations that do not conform with
the viewer’s expectations or with cultural conventions. I do not intend to create works that have a
certain style. I let myself constantly surprised by things around me. I use images that have
significance in the context I take them from and I am emptying these images of any significance. I
am assembling together images that do not have any relations to each other, creating completely
new spaces, compositions. Different motifs complete the compositions, creating new images that
seem to emerge from dreams.
