Statement

Each brain has a language and a different way of processing experiences. Mine is made out of images. I do not think that people are born in a way, rather, the experiences that you live make you who you are. These experiences produce a code, a language that is only yours, that you do not share with anyone. Although, at certain times, we share the same experience, the plot on which is written is already there, already existed. It is different for any person, and those experiences are what are overlapping each day drowning a unique image.

That I do in my work, overlap, cut, enlarge, shrink, and manipulate, but what I love the most about working with epoxy resin, is the fact that, like in life, I don’t control the final result.

She has a life on her own, she moves and she dances at her own rhythm in reoccurring patterns, that I as an artist observe and use to create.
