Biography

My artistic work is based on research that explores connections between pre-Hispanic architecture, contemporary ecologies, and forms of political governance. I primarily use sculpture, installation, and mixed media techniques to create works closely linked to the specific environment in which they are produced and presented. Beyond articulating these relationships, I am interested in generating critical reflections on how they influence our society today and the future of our surroundings. Specifically, my goal is to highlight how current politics are connected to the degradation and exploitation of natural environments, and how other cultures throughout history have understood the relationship between nature and culture, bridging past and present.

An important part of my practice involves exploring ecologies and environments in different geographies to create a map of how we approach, understand, and become part of the territory. For my works, I often use organic materials such as wood, fibers, and plants, as well as inorganic materials like steel, glass, and lighting. I am interested in the narratives attributed to materials, understanding that the artistic field carries with it the possibility of reshaping knowledge by complicating historically dominant discourses and representations. This is primarily an experimental and playful exercise, both materially and discursively. In this sense, I tend more toward producing uncertainties than certainties, though it still involves a sharp, critical, and analytical perspective.

My artistic practice is informed by my work as a landscaper, and from this, I am particularly interested in explicitly exploring interspecies relationships within my work. This involves using native rather than exotic species to promote ecological awareness. My focus is on exploring a range of knowledge about territorial dynamics in relation to landscape, architecture, and flora.
