My work explores perception primarily through painting. I use chromatic relationships to create sensory atmospheres of thoughts, memories, and moods. My work questions the boundary between reality and imagination, investigating the relationship between the body, space, and perception.

 

In series such as An Imaginary Reality (2022), I depict landscapes and everyday scenes from memory, conveying the uncertainty inherent in altered perceptions. In Edge (2023), I aim to make sensory experiences accessible through structures of color and form. Before Daybreak (2024) focuses on the visualization of thoughts, dreams, and memories. My goal is to translate sensations into images.

 

My painting emerges primarily from introspection. I develop my work intuitively, allowing figures to emerge on the canvas through layers of color. I make sense of the seemingly random images that appear in my works, constructing interpretations of my perception.

 

For me, color is a natural structure and a means of mapping experiences. I am interested in the connection between human beings and their environment, both in terms of enhancing experiences and within the context of the environmental crisis. I explore the relationship between perception and space, integrating symbolic elements into my images.

 

I investigate the relationship between color, light, and nature, including phenomena such as electromagnetic waves and bioluminescence. In a project on dark energy (2019), I worked with light refraction so that viewers would associate abstract forms with natural elements such as cells or galaxies. I believe that integrating references to nature in both public and private spaces can foster creativity and a deeper connection with the environment. I have also applied this approach to installations and sculptures inspired by biological forms. These aspects influence my use of color in painting.

 

I find it important to reconfigure the human relationship with the environment. In my painting Luna de Fuego, I address climate change through color as an expression of temperature and dimension. The areas in my paintings where color dissolves the boundary between one thing and another stem from my belief about color: as a variable of temperature and dimension in space. The work presents a visual continuity between the human body and nature, dissolving the boundaries between them to reinforce the connection between humans and their surroundings.

 

My work is an exercise in exploration and discovery. I seek to express emotions, visualize the senses, and capture individual and collective experiences through painting. I understand perception as an inferential process. To me, reading an image is the product of a mental improvisation, a result of associations shaped by the interpreter’s mind but ultimately conditioned by the collective imagination, culture, historical context, and personal memory.
