STATEMENT

I was born into a migrant family in Venezuela, shaped by layered histories of displacement. My mother came from Colombia, crossing borders without legal status, while my father sought refuge from post-war Spain. Multiculturalism was part of my reality from a young age; I understood early on that there are countless ways to see and interpret the world. I pursued journalism, driven by a desire to amplify voices that often go unheard. 

As I explored more abstract, fluid forms of expression, my practice moved beyond film and into other mediums. In 2014, while Venezuela faced profound social and economic crises, I traveled to Spain for my first exhibition at Photo España. Growing political tensions led me to stay, marking a turning point that has deeply pointed out my artistic dedication.

I am acutely aware of the global inequalities that arise from systemic extraction and sacrifice zones driven by a capitalist system in crisis. I believe it is crucial to amplify dissident voices that challenge dominant perspectives and foster shifts toward models more aligned with our current reality. As part of this shift, I am drawn to exploring the margins, the peripheries, and the overlooked spaces—those fissures where new possibilities can emerge.

The climate emergency impacts all forms of life, a crisis exacerbated by human conflicts that deepen the ecological collapse. In my artistic practice and daily life, I seek a panoptic perspective, looking for lines of resonance between diverse actors—scientific thought and indigenous cosmovisions, for example—approaching these as complementary rather than oppositional forces. 

My work, rooted in performance, expands into sound, video, installation, and objects. I explore speculative landscapes that allow for abstraction and complexity, questioning how we relate to non-human systems and how art can serve as a site for imagining interconnected futures. The speculative nature of my practice, like the artistic inquiries of the posthumanist movement, aims to dissolve the notion of “otherness.” I propose a vision of a hyperconnected world where species, materials, and spirits coexist in dynamic interdependence.

This approach is neither naive nor idealistic. In a world so deeply divided, seeking unity might appear illusory, yet it feels like the only way to imagine viable futures. My work is not a search for utopias but an effort to foster encounters between opposing perspectives. Through immersive artistic tools—such as soundscapes, performative actions, and installations—I strive to create spaces where audiences can engage with these questions, forming new emotional and intellectual connections.

My artist practice acknowledges the fragility of these exchanges, holding space for both strength and vulnerability. Like other contemporary artists exploring speculative and ecological frameworks, I aim to carve out pathways that challenge the limits of anthropocentric thinking. In doing so, my work invites us to recognize our shared role within an interconnected, living system that demands care, imagination, and reciprocity.
