Multidisciplinary visual artist living and working in Madrid.
Installations, videos, photographs, drawings, and objects from every possible dimension are the most common resources I use to formalize my work. My proposals explore the dialogue between the individual, art, social structures, and historical context as the central axis of my discourse.
