About The Artwork

ready-made hands on copper aluminium sheet metal with faux jems, pearls, and glitter embellishment. This piece is a reference to Dürer's 'praying hands'.I was inspired by the relationship between religion and kitch, so I decided to make a version of these hands that are comically extra kitchy, sentimental, and dramatic. I often use hands in various poses and forms, they are very symbolic.

and I am a sculptor and installation artist. I was born in Buenos Aires and moved to New York when I was little. I lived in Tel Aviv from 2006-2016. The places where I live are reflected in the themes of my work. I also love experimenting and exploring with new materials. My works are about the physicality of sculpture, objects, and idols. I often combine fragmented biblical references and Ancient Near East paraphernalia with cheap culture, imported Chinese toys, and nonsensical weapons with a macho sensibility. Some of the works resemble sacred relics and precious fetishistic objects. The works in my installations are decadent, vain, perverse, and shamelessly ornamental. The result is a scene of graphic but alluring imagery of splendor and sparkle invading the space.
