Artist Statement

In the beginning and with an abstract character my artwork communicated through the topic of evolution. Nevertheless, time evolved the abstract into the figurative, thus creating its own language. The combination of photography and sculpture have played key elements in my creative process, allowing me to reach the present context through different perspectives and spaces. As a sculptor I intend to create social conscience of the impact humans have on nature. Each piece aspires to create actions that can mitigate the negative impact that society has provoked in the environment. The formation and development of marine organisms has characterized most of my artwork. These pieces express the toxic impact that happens trough time specifically with materials such as polymers. Poor planning and misused materials have made these items main characters in the ecological damaged that we experience today.
