Artist Statement

The female figure appears in my work as a persistent trace of what remains active beneath the surface. Through layers of oil, and when the work calls for it, paper and added 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. In Epigenetics, dissolution becomes a direct metaphor for how environment modulates identity without altering its essence, some figures absorbed by their context, others resisting it.

This pictorial language is rooted in Spanish Informalism and the Grupo El Paso, the starting point of my formation, and has evolved through my displacements between Spain and New York toward a language of my own. Scraping, accident, and, in certain pieces, 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.
