Throughout systematic addition processes, video performances extended in time, and the repetition of minimal graphic elements such as lines, points, strokes, frottages or thousands of sheets printed with my home printer I has built a discourse which allows me to reflect on the stages of sight, the image’s meaning and its mental consolidation process. Furthermore, it also sheds light on the possibilities that the scenery offers as a symbolic transformation field, I also delve into the discipline and severity of the artistic praxis in contrast with the genius ideas and the romantic cliche. Finally, I reflect about the esthetic experience as a sublime catharsis, according to me nowadays the artists flee from such responsibility.
My works, which go a long way before they are finished, are demanding. One must be aware of time’s passing and the subject dimension, artist and audience alike. Both subjects are entailed in these works that build some truly invading architectures. With a meditated and abstract process I not only craft, chart and manipulate the space from the detail, I also reflect about a visual imagery in which we are all represented. In front of this imagery we are always overexposed. In order I try to put the audience in front of a mirror, there we will only find as much as we are inclined to give. It is an experience through the experience.
I have always believed it is fundamental, honest and necessary that, in addition to producing work in the most or less orthodox sense, an artist has the duty and also the responsability to share all the knowledge he accumulates throughout his career, because even though it is present in his work, sometimes it is not visible and legible, and sharing it is always enriching. This attitude -and a firm faith in art as a necessary experience that provides us with tools to decipher the complexity that surrounds us, to understand the other, the different and ourselves- is what encourages me to include didactic proposals for different audiences in all my projects.
Finally, in my curatorial practice, the playful and the educational come together in collaborative projects based on transversal learning and non-hierarchical structures. These are performative curatorial exercises in which artists, agents, and audiences are all actively involved, driven by a shared idea and intention: to create spaces, dynamics, and experiences that foster enjoyment, reflection and critical thinking
The whole of my works,, in addition to these didactic and participatory proposals, include video, photography, instalation, performances, sculpture, drawing, sound pieces and artist books. These projects have in common a strong procedural character which share a connection between them time and time again, it is like the neverending path we can achieve when confronting two paralel mirrors.
