Artist Statement

The female figure appears in my work as a persistent trace of what remains active beneath the surface. Through layers of oil, paper, and matter, in a palette dominated by reds and carmines, I investigate identity as a construction that accumulates, overlaps, and rewrites itself.

My work stems from a question about visibility and vulnerability: what we show, what we conceal, and what remains when the figure dissolves. In series such as Hiding Place and Introspection, the female figure appears veiled or fragmented, protected by social masks, caught between the desire to belong and the instability of identity. In Strata, the figure withdraws into the layers themselves, allowing matter and color to carry the expressive weight.

This pictorial language is rooted in Spanish Informalism and the Grupo El Paso, and has evolved through my displacements between Spain and New York. Scraping, accident, and the incorporation of heavy materials are part of a process in which matter retains memory, of decisions, of frictions, of what cannot be seen but remains.
