    MEMORY PRINTS

    MEMORY PRINTS is about re-conceptualizing memories, archiving them through a cleansing process of abstraction. They surged from the remaining bits of some faulty analog pictures that I just couldn’t throw away, for they were cap- turing cherishable moments and loved ones. I did some collage tests on paper to later tear off the glued photographs which led me to all sorts of different patterns. These appear as an intuitive language of biomorphic abstraction: shapes that can seem strange and yet uncannily familiar to the human eye. Beneath these patterns lay a recollection of thou- ghts, ideas, and particularly images that I sift from my own reality and surroundings. Through layering, intertwining diffe- rent materials and techniques, I transform those representations into paintings. The outcome is a collection of abstract and unsubstantial memories, traces of intimate yet unidentified stories.

    ONE TOO MANY

    Pictures series is made out of discarded personal analog photographs that captured certain places, friends and family. Pictures that were faulty or simply not good enough, and yet it felt wrong to throw them away. They still held its value being reminiscences of particular moments in the past. In the end, I chose to recycle them and re-significate them by making them part of my practice. The resulting pieces are an abstract assemblage of conceptual memories.

     
  • I DREAM IN COLORES

    I DREAM IN COLORES

    I DREAM IN COLORS arises from the essence, the impulse to create, the need to go back and work with raw materials. Letting them drive me through a result, more than forcing them onto a specific composition or idea.
    Ultimately the pieces translate subconscious memories through color overlays.
