ARTIST´S STATEMENT

Engraving is my main artistic language, through which I develop my reflections and poetic productions that involve the concepts of image-reproduction, ephemeral-permanence, time-space. With the gesture of recording an image, I try to create a certain permanence of an ephemeral moment and as subtle and delicate incisions appear on the surface of a matrix. I use densities and transparencies between presences and absences, whose traditional printing procedures are articulated with contemporary engraving.

ABOUT FRONTIER

My participation in the Project ´Ace: Juntos a La Distancia, initially, was given by the possibility of getting in touch with other artists, sharing thoughts, reflections, coexistence, and fundamentally, knowing a little more about the creation process of other artists and the particularity of their productions.

I loved the proposal related to the development of the Frontera concept, which allowed me to expand and find new experiences in my creative process. In the individual activity, I took several photographs where the presence and absence of light stands out, I also made videos called ¨Inspire and Breathe¨ related to the problems we are currently experiencing, the internal and external limits of our body, the limits, the confinement and social isolation due to the global pandemic.

The reflections in a small group were very interesting, we tried to find our proximity as well as the artistic and cultural differences. In that process the bird emerged as a symbolic and metaphorical element to reflect on the importance of nature reserves. A counterpoint between air borders and maritime territories with birds that migrate freely, they cross freely, there are no borders for them.

However, there are also human-made obstacles, such as border conflicts, threats, and biopolitical transgressions. The experiences carried out from the Projecto ´Ace; they were very enriching, opening new paths that led to deepening my reflections on my artistic production.
