The art piece is a striking representation of contemporary themes, featuring a large element made of concrete and recycled wood from construction sites, covered in pink fur. This arrangement mimics the torso of a strong man, embodying a contemporary nude with elements that resonate with the contemporary queer scene. The choice of materials, including concrete and recycled wood, reflects on industrial and environmental concerns while the addition of pink fur adds a layer of softness and whimsy, challenging traditional notions of masculinity and aesthetics. By presenting a muscular torso covered in pink fur, the artwork challenges stereotypes and norms within the gay culture, particularly addressing vanity and superficiality often associated with it. Within the artwork, there's a subtle narrative of love and protection intertwined. The figure representing strength and protection, juxtaposed with the vulnerability implied by the soft pink fur, hints at the aspiration of love between two men—one as the protector and the other as the protected. This dynamic challenges traditional power dynamics and celebrates the multifaceted nature of relationships within the queer community. The piece serves as a critique of the emphasis on physical appearance and image in the gay culture, highlighting the tension between the desire for attractiveness and the pressure to conform to certain standards. Despite this critique, the artwork also possesses an allure and attractiveness, drawing viewers in with its bold and unexpected combination of materials and themes.

Mexico
My artistic practice is a rich tapestry woven from years of experiences in Architecture and Landscape Architecture, developed through rigorous training in Mexico, Belgium, and Germany. This diverse background has profoundly influenced my approach to art, intertwining technical precision with creative expression. The pivotal moment in my career came during my first solo construction project of a residence in Mexico. This hands-on encounter with a complete working site catalyzed a transformative decision to channel the thoughts, sketches, and memories accumulated over the years into tangible contemporary art pieces. Central to my work is the exploration of the intricate relationship between the human psyche and nature. This theme is expressed through a dynamic interplay of natural and constructed elements, capturing the vibrant and tangible spirit of nature and matter. My artistic process often begins with repurposing materials from construction sites, such as leftover wires and twisted rods. These elements, once discarded and overlooked, are reimagined and transformed into evocative sculptures and installations. By employing techniques like laser cutting and incorporating diverse materials such as brass and concrete, I create pieces that challenge viewers to reconsider their perception of space, identity, and reality. One notable series, "Gestalt," delves into these themes by using the principles of Gestalt psychology to provoke reflection on spatial location and the human experience within constructed environments. Another significant work, "The Shape of the Migrator," is a series of sculptures shaped in human form, composed of soil from specific locations, seeds, and small organic remains. The mixture is compacted into a cast inspired by the shape of my own body. These sculptures gradually disintegrate and degrade into the environment, with seeds sprouting and organic materials enriching the surrounding area. This work symbolizes the transient nature of migration and the cyclical relationship between humans and their environments. In my installations, I often blend organic elements with man-made structures. For instance, the "Sunset at the Sea Shore" piece features a painting of a pink sunset complemented by a found tree bark-made shelf holding an ikebana arrangement. This work not only evokes a sense of nostalgia and lost love but also celebrates the intersection of natural beauty and human emotion.
