Space and time are usually the main components of my work.
The process—insofar as it involves temporal development and the analysis of space that links the work to its surroundings—is an essential component of my work. Many of my works are often created ‘in situ’, establishing connections with the space and time in which they are produced.
Some of the recurring themes in my work are geometry, linearity, traces, the ephemeral, books, series, minimalism, writing, the domestic, measurements, light and shadow, repetition, duality, infinity…
In my most recent projects, I prefer to let the location, the moment and my state of mind determine the working conditions. Concentration, engagement and finding the right approach and medium for each project are essential to working honestly and sensitively, responding to the parameters of each specific case, interacting with the environment, and delving deeper into an artistic practice open to experimentation and discovery.
