A Body is never just a body. Using painting and drawing as an expressive language, the human body appears distorted, ambiguous, related with other bodies and other beings.
I understand the human body as a psychological entity, alive, mutable. It beginns shapeless but it acquires a structure, it transforms and it sometimes even incorporates characteristics of other bodies depending of its mood.
Drawing and Painting are means to flatten an image. In my opinion that is precisely when the idea of human body increases its possibilities of representation. My figures sometimes are mixed with their background, with their context. Other times, their own limits isolate them from their surroundings. In some instances several points of view from the same figure are mixed in one solid image.
I think that art should assert the primitive nature of human being. Altering the body I want to question the way we have traditionally systematized it, specially in Art History. The body is then reformulated through philosophical ideas about human condition, as for example our relationship with the other, or what separates us from the rest of nature. I use feminist theories as a conceptual tool, as well as psychoanalytic theory in regard to the body, sexuality and the other's bodies.
