Statement:
As the transgressor of contemporary pop-surrealism, I develop work that subverts the codes of art and popular culture. Through vibrant graphics 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 ignore with deliberate indifference 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 recur to collage as a starting point, not only as a visual technique, but as a declaration of rupture. It is in that initial pause where a rich aesthetic emerges in materials, technical solutions and unexpected combinations that, without needing to respond to an established order, shape a spontaneous, irreverent and deeply contemporary visual language.

My work bursts into symbols, dismantles the sacred and turns the recognizable into an object 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 achievements of the decades that transformed the twentieth century. It is also a tribute to those who survived the pandemic without renouncing their identity, their memory, or their desire to live fully.
