Below are the artist's words:
I believe that art is the only means available to humanity to express feelings, ideas, and facts that would otherwise be inexplicable by other means.
I believe that the artist can and must represent the historical moment they are living, using whatever nature, technology, and life put at their disposal.
On these two simple concepts and on the coexistence of art and science rests my creative faith. I have always been drawn to the fascination and the infinite space offered by these two elements: Art—the realm of imagination and human lyricism; Science—a place of challenge between intelligence and the secrets of nature.
This partnership between art and science has stimulated my research and my entire body of work is saturated by it. I am not so concerned with the aesthetic effects of the works as with the values contained in them, and that is why the chronological evolution of my practice may appear visually contradictory, but what matters to me is its linguistic and conceptual coherence.
I consider everything relating to nature, the Earth, and the universe of great interest; I am astonished by their spontaneous evolutions as much as I am unsettled by the possibilities of science to interfere with, block, or alter those processes established by life.
I want my work to reflect this restlessness, to document my ethical and ecological longing, as well as the need for progress, civilization, and culture. For these reasons I have envisioned a wild, laboratory art, at once technological and life-affirming, an art that involves my body, my very existence, as sculptures/houses to live in and inhabit, so that mutational symbiosis can occur minute by minute, moment by moment.
