Vision of art
1. Choose a work that represents you, describe it in relation to its format and materiality, its relation with time and space, its style and theme; detail its production process.
It's difficult to choose one work, I fall in love with every single one I’ve made and they represent different moments to me. I feel motivated by the idea of working with the environment, looking for a dialogue.
I always feel very enthusiastic with what I'm working at the moment, until I jump to something else, creating a new beginning. There is a mental production process in that gap that joins two works and where I try to filter lots of things. That’s why sometimes they can look like if they where CD Covers, but in some way, all the songs are color searches, product of different emotions, where real time and space cross by. By the way I'm still looking to “paint”, in anyway or shape, trying to show color without the necessity of words.
2. In general terms, how would you suggest to approach your work?
I think that it is good to spend some time in front of an artwork, like I think it is important to understand the work as a trajectory of a search that has no determinate end.
3. In reference to your work and your position in the national and international art fields, what tradition do you recognize yourself in? Who are your contemporary referents? What artists of previous generations are of interest to you?
I recognize myself as a product of a zapping tradition -if that exists-, with short and cut sentences. I like very much Alberto Greco, Victor Grippo, Felix Gonzalez Torres, Rothko, Gabriel Orozco, Van Gogh, Santiago Iturralde, Janine Antoni, among others. Family and friends are referents too, daily life, cinema dialogues, everything is filtered.
4. Choose works or exhibitions from the last ten or fifteen years which in your opinion were very significant and explain why
I find it difficult to make a list of some exhibitions having so much to tell.
