Artist Statement

"My work creates a "paleofuturistic" bridge between ancestral cultures and the technological age, seeking to redefine our relationship with nature and spirituality. Through an aesthetic that evolves from neo-baroque to symbolic abstraction, I use archetypes such as ladders or divers to narrate human evolution and introspection."

"I practice "divine recycling" by transforming waste materials into spiritually charged collages. Through dense layers of paint, I depict mythical beings that invite us to unify ideologies and recognize humankind as an integral part of the Earth, not superior to it. My work, built in layers of meaning, reflects an identity connected to memory and the past as a foundation for progress."
