STATEMENT
Currently, my research focuses on biological and scientific processes that reside behind changing matter, finding the theoretical foundation in the eternal relationship between man and nature.
I use different languages that form an inescapable and necessary link with the choice and manipulation of specific materials aimed at generating forms or processes.
I believe that everything is nature, or a manipulation of it. From the invisible to the visible we are surrounded by life. From these premises my work is developed by staging visual apparatuses capable of developing a reasoning about the anthropic world and biological life by highlighting a dual aspect of the present, through digital and analog media, everything becomes material, organic and synthetic elements merge, returning through audiovisual installations the evolutions of the processes of direct or indirect manipulation.
