Arts Thread

My practice spans painting, analogue photography, and sculpture, driven by materiality, spirituality, and tenderness. I trust my instincts, allowing spontaneity to guide my creations rather than meticulous planning. This approach keeps me focused on authenticity over mere perfection. Central themes in my work include primary intimacy, memories, and human connection. I explore the evolving role of the artist and how I interact with these elements. During my travels, I collect diverse materials—natural pigments, organic specimens, and human tools—that are the foundation of my creative process. These objects inspire new works, initiating a dialogue that guides each piece. “I see my paintings as living bodies”, often working with large fabrics covering my studio floor. I am mixing pigments, applying tones, and creating symbols and marks that express what words cannot. Saturated colours evoke specific memories and reflections and demand my full bodily engagement in the process. My process weaves diverse techniques—acrylics, ink, natural pigments, and oxidation—subjecting them to alchemical experiments. I carefully observe their transformations, capturing and preserving unique energy—like a delicate memory frozen in time—and seek to ensnare a particular essence and make the transient tangible. “vestige of body reminiscence and landscape: trace, stillness and devotion and route to Root : "effect - cause, return" Clay, Natural pigments and glazing” Combines maps of memories from my past, suggests a rich tapestry of experiences and emotions woven into the canvas. Using natural pigments from Eastern Asia and Cochineal recollected in Oaxaca and other original material from flea markets on raw canvas adds layers of texture and depth, further enhancing the piece's complexity. The title evokes a sense of nostalgia and longing, perhaps hinting at a yearning for a place or time that holds special significance in my travel and landscape desert dream. The clay sculptures are connected and linked deeply to the painting, using the same pigments and sense of creativity.
