INSTALLATIONS & PROJECTS

 

Project                    Ambivalences in Red

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.

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. It also encourages you to think about the actual meaning                                     and implication of the word STOER (‘tough’) nowadays.
