About The Artwork

"HERITAGE One is aware of what has changed when faced with the same object or situation one's reaction is different. "Inheritances" is based on this little anecdote that made me reflect on this idea of change. One day, while visiting my grandmother, I came across those porcelain figurines that every grandmother has on a shelf somewhere in her house. These figurines had always seemed really ugly to me and I had never understood why at some point people were interested in them. But it was on this visit that my gaze changed and I suddenly found myself appreciating them differently. The curious thing is that I was able to remember my feeling of rejection towards them, that is to say I was aware of "that me" that was no longer the present me and that made me more conscious of my changes and in a way of my present me. I became aware of how my gaze changes with time and the situations I have lived through and I wanted to represent that change through a series of works. It is interesting how that object X or situation X, are the ones that can show you the change, because it usually happens so gradually that you don't even realise it. Suddenly living and being aware of the change of look, of values, of morals, of thought, is the only thing that can open our eyes to the fact that nothing is absolute, that nothing is immovable and that no matter how much we think that we are or are not one way or another, reality and truth are things of the moment. "HERENCIAS" is a series of paintings, where I represent the figurines of my grandmother's house through that new look that I described at the beginning of the text.

artista multidisciplinal. Statement: From my own experience of attachment towards my possessions , I started Investigate about the links develop people with the objects around us , the need to retain and limits between possession and obsession. I am interested in mainly the limit between what is considered normal and diseased , reconsidering the parameters that define that things. From this personal experience , I was treating this issue in a more general way , focusing especially on everyday acts related to different forms and patterns of accumulation , from Conservation International as souvenirs to collectibles . I also interested in the spaces dedicated to the act of accumulating like The attics , storage rooms , cabinets, etc . The type of objects preserved there and how these objects behave in different spaces . The attachment, Accumulation , Vacuum Fear , Obsession and memory are key words in my work . Partiendo de mi propia experiencia de apego hacia mis posesiones, empecé a investigar sobre los vínculos que desarrollamos las personas con los objetos que nos rodean, sobre la necesidad de retener y los límites entre la posesión y la obsesión, interesándome sobre todo el límite establecido entre lo que se considera normal y lo enfermizo y replanteándome los parámetros que delimitan una cosa de la otra. A partir de esta experiencia personal, fui tratando el tema de una forma más general, centrándome sobre todo en actos cotidianos relacionados con diferentes formas y motivos de acumulación, desde la conservación de recuerdos hasta otros como el coleccionismo. También me interesan los espacios dedicados al acto de acumular como las buhardillas, trasteros, vitrinas ,etc. el tipo de objetos que ahí se conservan y como se comportan los objetos en los diferentes espacios. El apego, la acumulación, el miedo al vacío, la obsesión y la memoria, son palabras claves de mi trabajo.
