I am mostly an sculptor, but as in my sculptures I tend to mix medias I also do so in my art life: Then I write, install, perform in my openings and make fotobasura (I take trash-pictures in super low quality, I mean)
I am pretty much interested (in fact I can't help it, so it's more a compulsion than a decission) in questioning the way we think, live, act and construct so I find my own way of doing so trough art.
Using the stuff people throw away to make my art pieces is a way of resignifying those objects and its functions, and off course, ourselves. Besides, since I was a kid I have always had a double vision: cables were cables, but also veins, the texture originated in the fact of burning plastic had the aspect of living tissue, the Barbie dolls were monsters and the circuits were cities or even green flesh if treated with fire.
Now, empowered by Artselector, you can enjoy my latest production. From the ALL NYLON (escultura + instalacion) exhibit comes this series of creatures that comes from the bottom of my mental ocean. Made of 100% fantasticTRASH, they are a strange mix between animals, machines & humans. the ALL NYLON creatures are rising and they cry out:
- we are the quintessence of poor art!
sharing my art vision with others in the same (or different and even opposites) waves. As I only work with trash and stuff people throw away for making my art pieces I believe a 100% in my manifesto of artepobre
