Drop me a line —no job is too small for me.
‘Heterogeneousgenealogy’: Minimum System (always Under Construction)
I am driven by curiosity and interested in many different subjects—probably too many. But time ago, I decided to stop trying to be just one and to accept me numerous. I know this is the worst strategy for working in the Art Market, but the truth is, I have always been too busy learning things than to spend time making marketing plans. I completed my postgraduate studies at the Department of Aesthetics in the Faculty of Philosophy: reflecting on my activity remains fundamental to me. However, I am not at all interested in wasting my short time fulfilling the liturgical requirements and conditions of integration into the Art Market System, which has existed for just over a century.
Paintings, drawings, computer apps, objects, jewelry, patterns, films, writings, and music: I present the results of undeliberate processes, which are my true interest and whose origins are to be found not far from the pure enjoyment of making, experimenting with new materials, tools, media… and luck!
‘Heterogenealogía’: Sistema mínimo (siempre en construcción)
Me mueve la curiosidad y me interesan asuntos muy diversos, probablemente demasiados, pero ya decidí hace años dejar de intentar ser sólo una, y me acepto numerosa. Sé que es la peor estrategia para trabajar en el Mercado del Arte, pero lo cierto es que siempre he estado demasiado ocupada aprendiendo cosas como para dedicar tiempo a hacer planes. Completé los cursos de Postgrado en el Departamento de Estética de la Facultad de Filosofía: razonar la actividad artística sigue siendo fundamental para mí. Sin embargo, nunca me interesó dedicar el tiempo -tan breve- a cumplir los requerimientos litúrgicos y condiciones de integración en el sistema del Mercado del Arte desde hace poco más de un siglo.
Pinturas, dibujos, animaciones, imágenes generadas por ordenador, collares, estampados, objetos, escritos y música: presento el resultado final, no premeditado, de procesos cuyo origen no hay que buscar más allá del puro placer del jugar y el hacer, la experimentación con nuevos materiales y soportes… y la suerte!
