CONTEMPORARY ART  

ARTIST STATEMENT

 

My artistic practice emerges from an interdisciplinary inquiry where technology and matter converge. I integrate an electronic foundation with classical techniques such as painting, object art, and installation, generating hybrid spaces in which the digital and the tangible enter into dialogue, friction, and mutual questioning.

​

My work examines the relationship between humanity and technology through a critical yet poetic lens. I am interested in exploring our simultaneous virtual and corporeal condition: how we inhabit screens without ceasing to inhabit bodies, and how this technological expansion reshapes our perception, our freedom, and our voice.

​

Technological acceleration not only transforms our social dynamics; it also alters our relationship with the environment and with ourselves. In my work, this tension manifests as an open question: are we capable of shaping technology, or are we being shaped by it?

I conceive of art as a shared territory between creator and viewer—a space of pause within contemporary noise. A threshold where aesthetic experience becomes reflection, and where the personal dissolves into a collective inquietude.
