STATEMENT
The unequivocal violence at the center of my work serves as the vehicle to address the social wars in the streets, as well as the wars battled behind doors. Ultimately, by navigating this wide spectrum of the power dynamics, I work my way into the turmoil of the human condition.
I explore the ongoing negotiation between our most primal wounds and us. My pieces seem to be born from the clash that occurs when that negotiation goes wrong. That struggle takes a nightmarishly obsessive tone that suggests a perpetual sense of danger.
Some of the creatures that populate my work are merged in a forced togetherness, yet unable to reach one another. Or isolated, they float in a blank space, sterile and alien. They seem suspended in an emotional purgatory from where they are either longing for something that does not come or mourning for something long gone. Their incompleteness unveils a state of extreme inadequacy and profound disagreement.
