About me.
I am an artist based in Berlin with Colombian roots. My great passion is the study of the sciences and their possible application in artistic work. My intention is to create works, which challenge the viewer to engage with the work, in terms of space, material and perception, in a dialogue between the viewer and the material..
My art reflects an interest in traditional techniques, symbolism and materials. Through research and experimentation I am able to connect and find a language with the material, making it a primary and conceptual part of the work.
I draw in large formats (up to seven metres) with different types of chalk, charcoal and some of its derivatives. These works are the result of a performative overdrawing. This process of physical engagement with the materials leaves visible and audible traces on the paper and the soundtrack. In this way, pulsating macro and microcosms are created in the same image, a game of perception.
