I am a Spanish visual artist based in the UK, self-taught primarily. Recently undertook MA in Fine Arts (Photography) at University of Derby and graduated with Distinction in November 23, and Dean’s prize on the same year.
I am a graduate in Philosophy too. I use a digital camera and video.
My subjects are the self, liminal space, and memory.
Susan Sontag said that the photographer or videographer is ultimately a tourist in their own consciousness, and my practice embraces this.
I live in the UK, where being a foreigner is my way of exploring myself and my own world. I become a flaneur, tying time and memory to the now and to the space that sustains it, looking to the new in relation to the past to map poetic and political territories. Queerness and foreignness are translated into liminal space to be inhabited.
Cultural references and Art history, though, help me to signpost the unexplored and the unknown, bringing forward the revelation of the instant, beyond the familiar.
I play with tensions related to attachment and detachment drawing from my own experience and considering aesthetic concepts such as sublime, sinister and beauty .
