Delicate end

The “Future Monument Series” "How might we imagine a future monument or the idea of a monument?” For me, the monument of the future does not uphold existing structures. It is neither dominating, oppressive, predetermined, nor physically definable. Instead, it is light, space, movement -- expanding our perception to open our imagination to other futures. I construct the works through a meditative method. They are painted over transparently primed linen that seeps through the translucent layering of paint into the illusionistic weightlessness of the abstracted forms. The paintings are made using basic tools, paper tape, and pencils. The glazing layers are built up through many watery applications of high pigment acrylic. A prominent part of my work is using color aiming to affect the perception of the viewer. In the work, a complex organisation of form and structure comes into play to guide the viewer in relationships offered through illuminated hues and fleeting perspectives of aerial compositions. Are they thresholds? Portals? Space and weightless architecture remain present in the imaginative universe of the viewer.

Vanitas

“Grazie madre per questo piano antico, senza il quale sarei solo cosa secca e immota”. 
The work starts with these words, which are written on the very first part of the sculpture. With days, months, years, thoughts becomes thicker and they flow on the roll. With time the sculpture grows and words become a solid body, revealing 
their tridimensional nature that has a specific weight. 
The aluminium is treated with pourings of fat matter in order to make it look like a vertical stratification of geologic eras.

AL186: Untitled [Dark System 3]

This work explores the ancient Etruscan Practice of Haruspicy - a divination by which the entrails of sacrificial animals are examined. It is also an  attempt to convey artists’ visceral  processes, the canvass envisaged as a vessel,  holding pigment-blood

Faceless

This project used machine learning algorithms to create a self-portrait that illustrates how we create our digital selves, how others are able to use our data to create a form of us, as well as the veracity and distortion of those creations. I primarily used data I created about myself and this data was fed into machine learning models whose outputs formed the self-portrait. Though self-portrait is the term used, my face per se is not necessary and the intention of the project was much more about the digital representation of human perception and experience. A self-portrait method is used to provide unrestricted, accessible, and emotionally vulnerable data based on a real person. Using myself as the primary subject reduces (though it does not wholly remove) problematic issues such as misrepresentation, external bias about the subject, and manipulation of the subject. The unique aspect of the project is in the use of multi-media, constructed out of definitive data, to portray a broad and equivocal interpretation of a person, which in turn calls into question how we create and are created by interpretations of data.

Todo is a mixed-media project that explores the reminiscences of 
fascism in contemporary Spain; reminiscences on society, reminiscences on the landscape, reminiscences on myself. Archive materials and original imagery work together to connect the past and the present. 

The history of Spain was rewritten several times until all the parts 
that the Regime found inconvenient were erased. Spain has forgotten its past several times, sometimes willingly and sometimes forcefully. The pact of oblivion was the price to transition to democracy, and the horrors of the war and the posterior dictatorship were hidden behind thick walls of silence and shame. Historical facts  in contemporary Spanish history are ambiguous and intrinsically 
shaped by ideology and conflict.

15 prefixes is a work that uses punctuation to alter the meaning of commonly used words gleaned from media and conversations across 2020 and 2021. 

It demonstrates what Karen Barad (2020) calls the cutting together, apart, offering what might be new constellations of thought or different kinds of openings for thinking otherwise.

This anti-memorial examines the various traumatic events that occurred in the year 1919. It was the year after the first World War and many significant events worldwide, from the US to Australia, China to Mexico, and Russia to Europe.

An Archive of 1919: The Year of the Crack-up

The ecological transition, and the relationship between humans and nature, are among the subjects that touch me the most.  In this photography project that I entitled "2021: Un crépuscule", I chose to approach this subject in a rather introspective manner - speaking not only of our material relationship with nature, but also of an inner destruction that is gradually occurring in each of us: the threats which weigh today on our planet - an environmental crisis unprecedented in human history, the alarming loss of biodiversity and the climate change, our economic model and our lifestyle focused on capitalism and overconsumption…  This nature, so often dominated and oppressed, today rebels, and shows us the limits of all the changes that we imposed on her.  Confronted with a monster they have created and can no longer control, modern humans continue to refuse the evidence and to evade the irreversible.  They wander in search of solutions, pushing aside all promises.  Mother Nature, so silent for so long, gradually regains her rights, leaving mankind destitute of resources; and it is with elegance and certain casualness that she plays with all the traps that have been set for her.  Humans now move forward without landmarks, frozen in their habits, in search of this lost contact that will allow them to reconnect with their original world.  In this series, they are only witnesses, objects of an environment that nature draws.  It is she who now decides and imposes, yet she does not completely expel from her territory these strange creatures who have done her so much harm.  Perhaps, she even gives them one last chance and, failing to be reborn, the hope of reinventing themselves.
