The act of being present
This work explores the act of being present in painting and through painting. It aims to investigate how the act of painting the same place unfolds from sunrise to sunset, while remaining fully present in the act of painting, and doing so outside the artist’s studio—where artworks are normally created—asserting the practice of painting what is actually happening in life at that moment.
This process unfolded as both a performance and a painting intervention. Every brushstroke became a record of time passing: of fears confronted, of doubts transforming into gestures, of surrendering to the flow of the moment. Through the repetition of movement and the dialogue with nature, I sought to explore what it means to be present—to paint not as an act of control, but as a way of listening and sharing existence with everything around me. The result is not a mere landscape, but a temporal trace of coexistence between the body, the earth, and the moment.

Eda
In Eda, I explore gardening as a quiet act of temporal resistance. To practice it is to suspend past, present, and future; it is to challenge time through an intimate gesture. We cultivate today for a tomorrow that does not yet exist, and whose shade we may never know if we will be able to sit under. The tree’s shadow becomes a symbol of the burdens we carry, supported by a resilient branch that, despite its fragility, does not break.
Eda inhabits the territory where nature reveals its resilience as a way of moving through time, and where artistic practice becomes an exercise in contemplation and care. It invites the viewer to pause within this expanded temporality, to perceive both the fragility and the persistence of what grows, changes, and continues.
Behold the time. Travel to transcendence
This series explores the profound relationship between time and light, both fundamental elements in our perception of reality.
Inspired by the speed of light as a universal limit and its connection to the theory of relativity, the work employs translucent materials, reflections, and projections to reveal how light not only illuminates but also transforms our experience of time.
In this space, light stands as a metaphor for transience: what we perceive as the present is, in essence, an image of the past. Each projected shadow, each suspended beam of light, acts as an echo of what has already happened, a testimony to the ceaseless journey of light through time.
The viewer’s interaction with the pieces challenges conventional notions of time, inviting them to question their beliefs and to let go of the need to control it. The work seeks to open a space for introspection—one that redefines how we perceive and relate to the present moment.

Miranda
It’s everything that is good. It’s the simplicity of life. A blue chair in front of the sea. Next to it, with a cup of coffee while the first rays of the morning warm your hair. That balcony to life, where you understand that nothing more is needed.
That’s what I felt at Can Bleu, the first time I could sit in front of those views. And that is undoubtedly Miranda: a high and well-placed place from which it is possible to contemplate an extensive landscape. This is what this work captures, a site-specific installation dedicated to the contemplation and admiration of life, to knowing how to live

Lo Roto
Lo roto speaks to us about everything that is broken, damaged, or spoiled – a breakup, someone who is no longer there, an unfulfilled promise. But from this same event, and from this break, new paths and different ways of seeing life emerge. New reactions through a learning process – which takes time – but always ends in reconstruction.
Because from those cracks, a light emerges again, allowing us to see with a different perspective. Everything arrives, and everything passes. And there is always a way to put the broken pieces back together, well concealed, to return once again.
Always is right now
It shows the volatile and ephemeral search for satisfaction, as we always believe in tomorrow as the solution to finding what is good and better. How much longer can well-being last?
It expresses the ongoing quest to achieve the ‘next leap,’ to reach that happiness. Knowing that afterwards, there will be another new one to jump. It seems that life is always for tomorrow.
This day is the life
This day is life for me, and all of the rest as well, the same. This series speaks of the circularity of everyday days and how in every action we perform, there is light, but also shadow. Thus, each day comes with light to remind us that it begins. The further I go, and as the day progresses, the more shadows are there; inside and outside.
Then I walk back, turn off all the lights, and the ones outside go out; it’s already night. Ending the day. It seems that the shadows no longer follow me on the way home because there is no more light. Could that be the reason why?
Wishing for it to end. Only then do I find calm, in the darkness, but with hope placed again in tomorrow, when it begins anew. They always follow one another, day and night like a wheel, like the lights and shadows within me.

It brings us closer to understanding the importance of sharing. How happiness is always greater when it can be shared and multiplied. How, in the end, seemingly isolated events are connected and interrelate in a circular way.
We need the other, to notice that someone else is feeling the same as we are at that precise moment and that what we are experiencing intangibly is also happening in someone else. That there are witnesses and that, therefore, it is transcending.
Happiness becomes real when it is shared.
