"I develop my work on different medias such as drawing, sculpture and installation, using materials that explore issues of continuity, tension, lightness, rigidity and balance. The importance of drawing is built on the materials, where I take this drawing to different spaces, with colors and thicknesses being important factors for this almost mathematical construction, dictated by conceptual and metric results in my production. In my work I subvert the use of materials, trying to control the uncontrollable or letting chance act and thus presenting it in a natural way. Through optical phenomena the works are produced on the viewers' retinas."
