I understand creation as a way for reflecting on the relationships I maintain with the territory, exploring and pondering on concepts like landscape and identity. Using as inspiration - and questioning - diverse western epistemic fields such as geography, history, literature and astronomy, I intend that my work displays new ways for thought, feeling and imagination, serving as a space of encounter between different fields of knowledge. My work ranges photography, video, performance and installation. I am currently working on my project Tropical tropisms, in which I research how creation can display ways to (re)imagine tropical regions. 

Visual artist, MFA in Artistic and Documentary Photography by Rey Juan Carlos University and MFA in Artistic Research student. My work has been exhibited in Madrid and Barcelona and my documentary and experimental films have been screened in Madrid, NY, Bogotá, Caracas, Medellín and Cali, among other cities. I have been selected for art residencies in Madrid and Quito and I have received academic grants in Spain, the USA, Germany and Colombia. I am currently living and working in Madrid.
