I find it interesting to explore directly with the senses of the human body, mainly audio and vision. One of my goals in Art is to create conditions, that transport you to another emotional state for at least a few seconds, making environments that will induce unique sensorial experiences. Explore and experiment with the endless possibilities of perception and illusion, try to bring to the material world the immaterial and personal world that I have in my mind, and produce all these different scenarios in which I think.
I want to create scenarios that provoke a dialogue, either visual or spiritual between the essence of being, the object and the surrounding space. In order to render through these other perceptual versions of existing reality.
By putting an image, in this case to two opposing mirrors, a new automatic image is created, so that figure is transformed into something much more complex visually, and becomes a new image, you stop seeing a particular piece, and you begin to perceive that repetition that has almost no end, as the whole, and every reflection is integrated in general, creating a new and unpredictable form at infinity.
The experience of seeing oneself reflected within an environment is something that draws my attention. I consider the repetition of an element or a reflection of one ́s image evokes a contemplative act of reflection towards the past and present. It is like a materialization of the passage of time.
For me these scenarios are a kind of new landscapes, limbos, mystical places that are seemingly endless”.
