Erika Achec
Visual Artist, I was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1984.
I currently live and work in Madrid, Spain.
I was studied Philosophy at the Central University of Venezuela and
I received the award for first promotion in the master's degree in photography and project management at EFTI, as well as studying audiovisual narratives at EICTV, Cuba.
My photographic works show great interest in how the body is a vessel that contains, sometimes mysteriously and subtly and sometimes forcefully, the experiences we experience through life.
The works in which I have been developing in recent years explore the relationship between our essence and our environment, the impact that cultural constructions and stereotypes have on us, always taking as reference our instincts and the most primary parts of our nature, as affected in today's new changing contexts.
I have been seduced by the work with the body and its relationship with the thought between the obvious, the abstract and the intimate.
