​Why Artistic Practice? 

 
“In the face of growing ecosocial challenges, it is crucial to reevaluate our narratives and practices. By adopting transdisciplinary approaches, we can develop innovative solutions that address the interconnectedness of environmental and social issues. Artistic languages can provide unique perspectives, allowing us to explore alternative ways of feeling while understanding and embodying these challenges.

​Artistic spaces are experiential, experimental and permeable, they are transformative approach for those who experience it, creating long lasting bonds and collective meaning. As one of the stewards of our time, I keep creating artistic spaces as I believe that Artistic practices have power and potential to create a more sustainable and equitable future.”  ​

(Personal Background)

 
Since 2013, I have been a “multidisciplinary artist and researcher”, being committed by the love to artistic practice. This became my life where projects have been leading my path in a “nomadic” international lifestyle, while creating a temporary home in each place/project. Each project has been a fully immersive experience, a chapter of my life. Each project therefore is an ecosystem (physically and metaphorically) made out of holistic approaches (all knowledge becomes important and equal) and reciprocity (encounters are based on exchange), where humans and more than humans relationships are the core of my focus.

The vast expertise that connect to different world takes me to reorganise my practice different in order to share my skills and expertise divided in the 6 different sections here. You can navigate between them as even if they are categories they inform each other, making it a whole as my artistic practice is. 

This “caldo de cultivo” (“breeding ground”) of my professional artistic growth is filled with sensorial awareness where knowledge comes from embodied experience, where facing the unknown is an important element of creating, where a relational-analytical approach in complex thinking made me question all over and over again (starting from defragmenting and decolonising myself, learning and unlearning constantly, challenging boundaries). This is the Nature of my artistic praxis, the root that brings it to reality as “Eco-socially engaged Art practice”, the root that ties all together, a meandering river that does only show the surface (final outcomes don’t show the in-depth processes).
