OVERVIEW WORK 2019 – 2022

INSTALLATIONS & PROJECTS

Brief Description Ambivalences in Red was born as a search around the burden produced by the overload of information to which we are exposed in the contemporary world. Art is not a means to explain or expose preconceived truths, but a process of aesthetic investigation that can surprise the artist himself with unexpected findings. ‘Ambivalencias en rojo’ is a

series of monochrome red paintings all 120 x 200 cm meant to be exhibited together.

Realised 2023

Exhibition La Balsa Art Gallery, Bogotá, Colombia.

Project STOER (Tough)

Brief Description STOER (tough) reflects on the subject of gender and identity in a subtle and humorous way. The purpose of the artwork is to generate awareness and acceptance regarding these topics.
