Hola,

I’m based in Madrid.

My work revolves around the use of performance as a signifying tool, an active process in the genesis of alternative cosmologies, as a mechanism of resistance to imposed subjectivities. Fleeing from the conceptualisation of the purpose of the human being as a producer of economic value, I pursue any dilemma in any direction and speed through action. You could say that, as an artist, I do things.

I embody the pursuit of enchantment—finding or restoring wonder in the world through your diverse pursuits, whether that's through performance, music, storytelling or sculpture (mainly as a context - builder). I understand “enchantment” as a parallel ontology or reality infrastructure, where a utilitarian conceptualisation of the world is displaced by a magic one.

I am deeply obsessed with coherence: making sense of what you do, questioning it again, transforming as you go. I am interested in making pieces that allow a confrontation within themselves, that are possible and impossible at the same time and that challenge their own stability. This all means I use action as my main medium to make sense of the world.
