Statement

Through painting, I explore hybrid and displaced bodies—forms that inhabit the threshold between the human and the Other—where the fragmentation of the environment becomes essential for the transformation of these beings.

In these scenarios, I encounter natural states of disintegration and transformation, creating images in which otherness and nature intertwine to question the given forms of dwelling and belonging, using the figure of the monster as a metaphor for what does not fit, for what is uncomfortable, for what overflows.

Painting thus becomes a kind of ritual of affirmation. Against the logic of pure identity, compulsory rootedness, and a single language, my work proposes an aesthetics of the in-between: broken spaces, hybrid identities, wandering bo dies, decoupled forms… collages of times, environments, and identities where the monstrous is not a threat—it is home.
