The concept of power is an obsession in my work through the translation of personal experiences
from the familiar environment and sociocultural context into researching projects and works of art. I usually appropriate of
existing tools outside the field of art to develop critical models, execution strategies and development structures based on
actions, ideas, and ethic concepts. “Participant observation” understood as the experimentation both at the intellectual
and corporeal level of the translation of an existential and social experience, positions me in a context of active
participation of the society that constitutes my object of study. I believe in the capacity of development of contemporary art
from a socially engaged practice.
