Creation is the expression of the soul. The expression of a unique and unrepeatable life. Creating is our nature and is as necessary as breathing. Through it we are able to understand ourselves and others. The experience that I would like to have is collaborate with collective knowledge to build with others a more human world and centered in the human being and its spiritual needs. We live in a world struggling to free ourselves.
My wish for the future is continues making art. The art as a mirror, that reflects our life and our nature like a human been and works to discover what is our main objective in this life. For me, how can I move towards achieving this goal is creating. Spending time thinking and being conscious of our existence. And in this way, involve the viewer with my committed point of view. I want to show them what it means for me to live in this world. Let’s together pay attention to what’s happening and let’s think, with a human vision, about what moves us to have empathy that it is not unknown of human suffering.
As a textile artist I have been working with bodies, the imagen, and the gestures of them, modeled with wool. They speak of presence and absence. Fear and pain, in short, about our complex existence and the relation between our inside and the exterior world. They represent my body and of others and how we are interrelating in the fragile and sometimes imagined physical world. My plan is to continue working as a textile artist and to be able to teach what I have learned in my master's program.
My work as an artist is inspired by personal reflections about my relationship with the world, my circumstances, and my connection with the people. Human interaction produces in me curiosity and mystery. It involves aspects beyond rational topics. There is a first look, a quick reading of the gestures, of the body position — in short, a non-language scan.
This is what Malcolm Gladwell calls "adaptive unconscious,” in which rapid judgments are produced from little information. Many times, we block this mechanism and do not consider the instinct. In this work, I wanted to approach at that fleeting moment, that little flash, blink or glint in which the first impression happens. When we approach someone and our energies connect beyond our corporeality; we met, we recognize, or we reject ourselves.
Felted human bodies are represented as containers, like the shell of our essence, without color, gender, or special characteristics. We recognize them as human beings through shape alone.
We are like fireflies, small flashes in the dark.
