My artistic vision emerges from reflections on creation and existence—tiny moments of transformation within the vastness of the universe. My work delves into chance, serendipity, and the alchemy of creation, exploring the interplay of ideas, actions, and the ever-shifting elements around us.
With formal training in architecture, design, and interpretation, my practice bridges disciplines, combining technical expertise with a deeply artistic approach. Over the years, I have worked with multinational energy and environmental organizations and developed a versatile skill set, transitioning seamlessly from graphic design to app prototyping. This foundation supports my artistic journey, which has led to over 35 international exhibitions, offering me the privilege of sharing my work with diverse audiences across the globe.
Currently based in Spain, I am expanding my creative practice into the realms of performance and interpretation. Working on film and commercial projects across Europe and the U.S., I bring a distinct artistic perspective to storytelling, whether through visual media, wearable art, or cinematic narratives.
About My Work
At the heart of my artistic proposal is the matchstick—a powerful metaphor for transformation, energy, and the fleeting nature of life. The match, born by accident in 1827 when Jhon Walker discovered its fiery potential, symbolizes the essence of serendipity and the creative process itself. Much like Walker’s accidental invention, my work embraces chance and the unexpected as vital forces that shape both art and life.
In my wearable art project, #matchtobehappy, the match becomes a universal symbol of impermanence and energy, connecting personal identity to collective experience. This idea resonates with my belief that human existence mirrors the matchstick: both are brief, radiant sparks capable of igniting profound transformation.
Through my art, I aim to provoke reflection, evoke connection, and celebrate the unpredictable sparks that illuminate our shared journey.
After all, we are all matches—sources of light, energy, and endless possibilities.
