STATEMENT

I work exclusively with analogue collage technique that I often integrate with other artistic techniques, for example, gold leaf, acrylics, watercolors, photography, etc.

Sometimes I think that I’m not the one cutting out the paper but my father, or my mother, and God. They move my hands and do it all.

My work is aimed at the marginalized, invisible and fragile society, oppressed by pain and loneliness. I try to fight against the immense human indifference and I try to do it with my art.

The main themes are disability, poverty, human rights, mental illness, the health of the planet, freedom, women’s rights and many other important important subjects.
