This work consists of a reflection built around identity and how this identity is constructed in relation to the paradigms of current cultures, implying a cross-border dynamic.

“(…) Polyphony is the condition of the possibility of a historical-critical interpretation since in the disagreements of the different versions, valuable fragments of individual and collective experience appear, and even more, in the silences that reveal the dynamics of power that have defined historical transformations and our own possibilities of enunciation in the present. (…)”

I use paint as a resource to reveal an image that builds itself from many layers that share the same two-dimensional and simultaneous space. This will result in a paradox between a concrete and representational image and the potential of becoming something more; a developing identity that goes beyond the immediate and apparent. I present my images as a search, intending to mislead and give the sensation of not being completely resolved, on the contrary, as if they were being built. This way, I present their potentiality and not an enclosed version of them. In other words, I think of my work as a resistance to the immediacy of labels and their classification that quickly define our identity, recognizing that we are complex and different from what the “critical mass” and the market define us as.

To sum up, I will borrow a quote from Georges Didi-Huberman: “What falls does not necessarily disappear; images are even there to make it reappear or show through some fragments, vestiges, or survival.”
