Statement:
As the transgressor of contemporary pop-surrealism, I develop work that subverts the codes of art and popular culture. Through a vibrant graphic style and the imagery of Pop Art, I appropriate iconic references to disarm them, decontextualize them and return them to the present as an uncomfortable reflection of our reality.

I deliberately ignore any ideological or cultural legacy of the past, because I do not seek to pay homage, but to question, provoke and rewrite their meanings.

I turn to collage as a starting point, not only as a visual technique but as a declaration of rupture. It is in that initial pause that a rich aesthetic of materials, technical solutions and unexpected combinations is born, which, without needing to answer to an established order, gives shape to a spontaneous, irreverent and deeply contemporary visual language.

My work erupts into symbols, dismantles the sacred and turns the recognizable into objects of reflection, irony or contradiction. I do not seek answers; I generate frictions. Because in the clash between the iconic and the absurd, between the revered and the banal, the distorted mirror of our time emerges. My collages are aimed at those who made freedom a form of resistance and still recognize themselves in the dreams, excesses, contradictions, and cultural conquests of the decades that transformed the 20th century. It is also a tribute to those who survived the pandemic without renouncing their identity, their memory, or their desire to live fully.
