Using collage as a creative medium, I work around the composition of images, primarily women or parts o them.

I work with the feminine representation that is found in different printed media of mass circulation, such as magazines, posters, museum catalogues and used books. Papers with images that had a specific purpose, this being to communicate or publicize and I gather, recycle, remake; granting these images a new or another position.

I play with the colours and random cutted forms, recomposing a new puzzle. But I am interested in understanding the visual power of collage, that allows me to inquire directly on the narrative that has existed on the models of representation regarding women, form the beginning of art until now.
