​​

At first my work revolved around the exploration of beauty and the search for a coherent and honest aesthetic language with me. I explored various painting techniques. I allowed myself to innovate in my creative processes, since in any case, the theme revolved around my roles and internal world as a child, teenager, adult, mother, wife, lover, daughter, among others. I sought to capture and decipher how I saw myself, how others saw me, how I wanted to be seen, how the world validated or disqualified my gaze, and above all: how it was that in the midst of so many gazes "I felt invisible." I discovered that these questions were not subjective, on the contrary, they were collective.

​

I then address the hidden face of socio-cultural mandates, to understand that in addition to structuring, supporting and ordering, they can also invalidate or limit the role and will of the members of the community, leading to the annulment of self-expression and identity, a challenge that we address from a very early age, and that delays our realization.


Understanding that the cyclical nature of systems demands the transformation of their own beliefs in each new generation, my work began to acquire a social meaning, so that women can develop and assume responsibility for their self-love, their confidence, and learn to look at themselves in a positive, loving and permissive way. As a result, I am interested in expanding the theme around "joy," "freedom," "education of the inner worlds" and "liberation of one's own voice."

I am motivated by the idea that through my work and artistic practice, safe spaces will be fostered for reflection on these issues, to understand the scope and social and psychological consequences in communities, since when a collective is subjected and said action endures over time, it announces the stagnation, decay and death of an outdated paradigm, which by remaining in force violates and subjects those who propose and walk in transformation.


The castration of expression truncates the development of human potential. As an artist, I collaborate in re-establishing values ​​of self-love, autonomy, free expression and emotional intelligence in our men, women and children, so that the new perspective, the new discourses and systems, also prioritize feminine values ​​such as dialoguing, nurturing, loving, respecting, protecting, including, accepting, caring, healing, celebrating, and expressing, harmonizing, among others.
