‘Heterogeneousgenealogy’: Minimum System (always Under Construction)
I’m moved by curiosity and interested in many different matters, probably too many, but I decided time ago to stop trying to be just one, and accept me numerous. I know it’s the worst strategy to work in the Art Market, but the truth is I’ve never been interested in spending time making plans. I completed my Postgraduate courses at the Department of Aesthetics of the Faculty of Philosophy: reasoning about my activity remains fundamental for me. But the demands of contrived justifications and solemn speeches that the Art Market has been demanding for barely a century It simply bore me.
Paintings, drawings, computer apps, objects, jewels, patterns, movies, writings and music: I introduce the results of undeliverated processes which are my real interest and which origins are to seek not far away from pure enjoyment in making, experiments with new materials, tools. and medias… and luck!
‘Heterogenealogía’: Sistema mínimo (siempre en construcción)
Me mueve la curiosidad y me interesan asuntos muy diversos, probablemente demasiados, pero decidí hace tiempo dejar de intentar ser sólo una, y aceptarme numerosa. Sé que es la peor estrategia para trabajar en el Mercado del Arte, pero lo cierto es que nunca me interesó dedicar el tiempo a trazar ningún plan. Completé mis cursos de Postgrado en el Departamento de Estética de la Facultad de Filosofía: razonar mi actividad sigue siendo fundamental para mí. Simplemente me aburren los requerimientos de justificaciones impostadas y discursos solemnes que exige el Mercado del Arte desde hace apenas 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 a hacer”, la experimentación con nuevos materiales y soportes… y la suerte!
