Behold the time. Travel to transcendence
Behold the time explores the existence of time in relation to accepted physical conventions, especially through Einstein’s theory of relativity. The concept of the speed of light, central to this theory, is reflected on the canvas, creating imaginary spaces that evoke the intimate relationship between time and light, the latter being presented as a supreme and unparalleled element.
The use of methacrylate as a secondary support adds a new dimension, representing time in a «non-space.» When layered over the linen, the projected shadows of moving lines merge with spaces of light, creating a visual dynamic that emphasizes the paradox of shadows within light.
This interaction between materials highlights the complexity of representing time, symbolized by an object in upward motion. According to the theory of relativity, this movement slows the perception of time: a moving clock ticks fewer times than one at rest, observed from a different frame of reference.
The work challenges traditional conventions by exploring the interaction between light, time, and space, using materials and concepts that invite contemplation of the abstract and relative nature of our temporal experience.

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.
