The starting point for this artwork was inspired by the exhibition of contemporary art at the Kunsthalle Bern called “Live in Your Head: When Attitudes Become Form" which redefined the role of curators outside of museums and traditional institutions and redefined the relationship between curators and artists.  
That's why besides including the abstract ideas which live in my head you will be able to find the name of the curator of this exhibition, the names of some artists who took part of the original exhibition and a recreation of a work of Alighiero Boetti.

Lives in my mind

After studying Bosch and Bruegel's paintings I embarked on a captivating journey into the realm of abstract landscapes. These paintings have been a revelation to me, inspired by my deep fascination with Chaos Theory, the Unknown Galaxies, and the possibility of life in outer space. In my artistic pursuit, I aimed to envision how life and "nature" might manifest in a distant galaxy or constellation, where everything is different to our familiar world.

These abstract landscapes are a unique amalgamation of hues that challenge our perception, drawn from a complex and intricate palette. 

Color, in particular, has been a central focus of my artistic exploration. It presents a challenge in harmoniously combining a multitude of shades and making them work together seamlessly.

I believe that colors encapsulate the full spectrum of human emotions. Each hue can be linked to a particular mood, and when we incorporate a diverse range of colors in a painting, we essentially unite the diverse tapestry of our emotions. 

The balance of colors is akin to managing our feelings, influencing our actions and emotions in an intricate manner and allows us to experience joy without ignoring the complex interplay of our emotions. 
Within the same painting we can find a harmonious coexistence of joy, melancholy, even moments of frustration or anger.

This perspective on the world and its inhabitants is what drives my creative spirit. My goal is to impart a sense of joy, encourage introspection, and evoke a profound sense of calm. 
I firmly believe that to understand the beauty of joy, we must first explore and embrace the full spectrum of human emotions and moods. In this regard, colors function as a powerful metaphor for the human experience, offering a canvas where our complex emotions can be both explored and celebrated.



Over the sky

In this painting I merge physical and digital painting in order to create unique compositions which combine both worlds: The physical and the digital one. I study possible behaviours and sensations like madness, illness and death. I depict them as wonderful states or places, showing the beauty beyond any situation.

Keine Lösung

Here I have digitally recreated Bosch's art by abstracting forms without the use of AI questioning the original message by bringing it to our present using post contemporary tools. My purpose is transforming the visual and conceptual experience of the original artwork using technology as a substitute of oil painting. Images, characters and symbols tear apart, melt and transform as much as its meaning. Everything is disarticulated and gets dismembered leaving behind the moralist and religious message the original painting used to transmit several centuries ago. What we have instead is a number of grafisms, geometric and organic forms, stains, drippings and digital resources we use in present time, they are an invitation to reflect about how much the world has changed, human behaviors, the importance of religion and the place it occupies in our lives.
It’s a very complex painting beside its meaning, composing with an open color palette without losing balance it's a huge challenge.



Life in Hell

Sleep paralysis series

"They creep around on nights like these,
When the wind blows through the mangled trees,
With the full moon in the sky and a chill on the breeze,
They creep around on nights like these."

Achtung 

I've been to the crushing
place.
It smells of death, and
spider mums.
Daisy chains dropped,
when the music died.

This painting is inspired by the night and everything hidden in the dark, everything that happens when everybody sleeps. It's the first series of paintings where abstraction and figuration meets presenting us a new and unexpected world where everything is posible as long as we wish it.

SuperRare

In this series abstraction and figuration meet presenting us a new and unexpected world where everything is possible as long as we wish it.  
A death scene which symbolize we are not kids anymore and everything we used to believe is fake.

This series was born by mistake. I wanted to create a generative art project but when I exported the material, the PNG files remained with a black background instead of a transparent one.  
However I found interesting the contrast between black and saturated colors and I worked digitally over these backgrounds using them as a starting point of these paintings.

Bosch’s Last Judgement is a triptych which represents the moment when all people will come to life again: the good people will be rewarded by going to Heaven; the evil people will go to Hell.
In this triptych I have digitally recreated this painting and abstracted its forms without the use of AI. I tried to stay close to the original color palette and the composition; however I am questioning the original message by bringing it to our present using post contemporary tools.
My purpose is to transform the visual and conceptual experience of the original artwork using technology as a substitute of oil painting.
The images, the characters and symbols tear apart, melt and transform as much as its meaning.
Everything is disarticulated and gets dismembered leaving behind the moralist and religious message the original painting used to transmit several centuries ago.
What we have instead is a number of grafisms, stains, drippings and digital resources we use in present time, they work as an invitation to make us reflect about how much the world has changed, human behaviors, the importance of religion and the place it occupies in our lives.

The Last Judgement Central Panel

In Bosch’s central panel is Christ as a judge within a celestial sphere, flanked by angels who are playing the Trumpets of Last Judgement, and by the apostles. Below him is the punishment of sinners.
In my deconstruction, the distorted forms and shapes looks like if everything is evolving, changing, merging and turning into something new
The concept of life and life after death it's different and has a new meaning.
We try to live our lives enjoying and not feeling guilty for everything we do and this concept invites to question us about the way you perceive the past, about the present and the future.

Includes a signed giclée print (60 x 80 cm)

There are dreams that are not pleasant. They occur when our brain wakes up a little before our body. It's an incomplete awakening, a transition between sleep and wakefulness. This phenomenon is called sleep paralysis. A person under this state is cognitively awake, but cannot move, talk or even breathe normally. The person is conscious, but remains still.
There was a time when I had sleep paralysis. Because of this I could not sleep, so I was prescribed a drug named Benzodiazepine. In a few days the medication worked and not only I was able to sleep, but I started a period of lucid dreaming. In those dreams I wandered around a new universe made up of strange, moving landscapes. Every color had its own journey that, far from being apart, was related to the rest shaping one Unity. Nothing remained in the same place for long. Chaos reigned, but it was not a disorder or disorganization: it was a new order.
So I decided to portrait this universe composed by landscapes, colors, movements and chaotic relationships in a series of drawings and paintings. I merged different techniques such as collage, monocopy and primer in addition to the use of different materials which, combined with each other, establishing relationships between all the elements.

This is an intriguing painting that invites to contemplate the enigmatic existence of life beyond Earth. Bursting with a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors and dynamic, otherworldly shapes and forms, this artwork captures the imagination with its vivid portrayal of the unknown. It serves as a visual portal to the uncharted realms of outer space, where the mind is free to explore the possibilities of extraterrestrial existence.

This acrylic painting is inspired by the autopilot state, a state that kicks in when you allow what was once exciting and challenging to become boring or mundane. You stop thinking about the situation and, instead, respond in preprogrammed ways.

The collection was painted when I was in an art residence. I created first 4 acrylic paintings inspired by the 4 States of Mind, then those paintings were over painted by a second artist and finally a third artist cut the paintings. It was some kind of collaborative performance.

The paintings of this collection were the beginning of that performance and today they only exist here, there no physicals, they were destroyed.
I also made a short video were I show how did the paintings look at the beginning, at the middle when they were over painted and at the end when finally they were cut.

The video is also a personal protest, cause the paintings were not expected to have so many cuts, the idea was to preserve the work and style of the three artists, not destroying it. However the result of this video made my happy so I wanted to share it with everybody. The music has three different moments starting with some kind of quiet lullaby until a horrible and creepy sound in the end in order to show the way I felt when my paintings ended like that.

Desgarro (Tearing)

Works of art made by Latin American women artists

A gateway to the ethereal, a conduit to the source of all existence, where the material and the spiritual realm intertwine.

These delicate mycelium and fractal-like patterns pulse and flow, reminiscent of the interconnectedness of the cosmos. A profound network that binds us to each other and to the universe itself. We are one.

This portal opens a gateway to the source of all creation. It serves as a visual mantra, a reminder that the divine resides both within and without. It invites us to recognize our inner power, to embrace our own potential for transformation, and to perceive the interconnectedness of all life through the mycelium's intricate dance.

As we approach this sacred portal, it asks us to delve deep within ourselves, to awaken our inner divinity, and to acknowledge the latent potential for spiritual awakening and ascension of the soul. Beyond the door, there lies a profound realization of the connection with our higher self, spiritual entities, extraterrestrial beings, and angelic forces residing in other dimensions – guides and protectors from the unseen realms, dedicated to the task of helping us along the way.

Burning Soul

My artistic focus centers on abstract landscapes, blending hues to challenge perception. Color, a central theme, demands harmonious integration from a complex palette. It serves as a focal point, uniting a spectrum of human emotions within a diverse tapestry.  Colors, linked to moods, mirror the intricate balance of feelings. The amalgamation reflects the dance of emotions, coexisting joy with melancholy, frustration, or anger in a single painting.

This VR experimental drawing is a translation of my physical drawing practice.
Brushstrokes, lines and textures are applied to draw in space creating a sculpture and a drawing at the same time.

Drawing in Space

This painting represents a journey through the abstract and surreal landscapes of the mind, where reality and imagination converge to create a vibrant and dynamic visual experience. The interplay of colors, shapes, and textures is a deliberate attempt to evoke a sense of fluidity and movement, reflecting the ever-changing nature of human emotions and thoughts.

No place for heaven

An Uncle's Tale is born through the use of a system of symbols, typically self-referential, where geometric elements and organic forms are combined. 
With this painting, I aim to delve into supposed areas of imagination linked to moments of transition between the material and the spiritual. 
To achieve this, I draw from an endless array of elements, both from records associated with modern art and fragments of my own gestures. In this artwork I took inspiration from some works by Bosch, which I reinterpreted both analogically and digitally (without the use of AI). 
Through the combination of physical painting and the use of digital tools, I abstract forms, colors, and symbols, proposing a new visual narrative. My goal is to transform the visual and conceptual experience of the original work using technology as a substitute for traditional materials.
Images, characters, and symbols disintegrate, merge, and transform as much as their meanings. 
As a female artist, I find it interesting to seize the opportunity to appropriate works of great masters from a time when the study of painting was denied to women, giving them my own touch. 
The result of this process is a complex composition where geometric and organic forms predominate, using pictorial techniques such as spray, airbrush, and digital resources typical of the present day. 
In this way, I invite reflection on the evolution of society, spirituality, and the human condition in the contemporary era.

Un Uncle's tale

Nobody Knows Who U Are explores the chaotic and often absurd nature of seeking visibility in the vast, oversaturated world of social media. Through this painting, I reflect on the irony of striving for recognition in a digital landscape where individuality often dissolves into algorithms, trends, and fleeting attention spans.

The work uses sarcasm to highlight the disconnect between self-expression and validation in this performative arena. It speaks to the frustration of creating meaning in a space dominated by noise and the anxiety of shouting into a void where everyone wants to be seen, yet nobody truly looks.

Through its visual language, the painting questions the relationship between identity and relevance, posing a provocative challenge to our collective obsession with "being noticed."

52 WEEKS ARTISTS DROP is an independent and pioneering proposal in digital art organized by NftCanarias where a group of important artists from the Spanish and Latin American cryptoart scene will release 52 works (one per week) during the 52 weeks of the year 2024. Our goal is to encourage collaboration between artists, support artists who are joining the cryptoart scene and build a network of collectors linked to the project.


Nobody knows who U are

Nobody Knows Who U Are satirizes the struggle for recognition in the chaotic world of social media and critiques the superficiality of digital visibility, exploring the tension between self-expression and anonymity in today’s hyperconnected reality.

Explores the mutable nature of reality and perception. With a surreal and psychedelic aesthetics, the paintings immerse us in infinite, shifting landscapes.
Each artwork acts as a portal to an alternate plane of existence, where familiar logic is suspended and space dissolves into a chaotic harmony of symbols, colors, and organic geometry. Inspired by concepts like backrooms, glitches in reality, and consciousness as a multidimensional experience, this series poses a fundamental question: if reality is a construct, what anchors us to it?

Be careful with the backrooms

What is Real? explores the fluid nature of reality through surreal, psychedelic art. Each piece opens a portal to shifting dimensions, where logic blurs and symbols reign. Inspired by glitches and altered states, it asks: what grounds our reality?
