Artist Statement:
​
In my multidisciplinary practice, I show natural structures, patterns and movements from a micro perspective. I am interested in how light falls on a surface and changes its shape.
​
The first years of my life in Chile shaped me in many ways. Nature, culture, mindset, water and the warmth of the sun formed the basis of my work today. After graduating, I started working in costume design, set and visual design. I learned how to work and think with space and color.
​
In acrylic painting, I create abstract, organic forms.
My photographs and films are taken digitally, in which I discover the unforeseen in the moment and use it to create series of pictures.
In some series I work with editing filters and effects.
Through the use of textile printing, I integrate a haptic three-dimensionality.
Sceneries such as earth, water and air inspire me through their fragile nature, as they are impermanent. Many of my water pictures are taken underwater while diving.
​
I develop my visual expression based on philosophical and psychological themes as well as passing emotions and thoughts and focus my attention on what drives me most. For this I use titles and interactive installations.
​
​My aim is to address different levels of perception so that viewers can discover the feeling of completeness within themselves. An essential question that I am researching is to what depth art can be seen as a form of self-healing.
