For the last three years I've been developing my work in Barcelona, place where I've consolidated my artistic and photographic identity, started my training in art and therapy and created the photographic collective cuatro15 along with companions.

I usually express my thoughts and feelings in photographic series. I create stories from within, giving form to an unreal and dreamlike world. In the creative process, I let myself be driven by intuition, allowing the unconscious flow to the surface, in search for the simplicity in the complex and for authenticity. The final piece comes to light with the hope of touching one's inner self.

In project 2048, a space for the expression of emotions will be created, with the collaboration of the members of CELLspace. An image will tell the story of one's particular emotion and, as a metaphor for the human body, a house, filled with all the emotions, will be built. I propose a reflection about the subjectivity of the experienced emotions, in contrast with the belief that we all carry everything inside, and in the process of remembering, we connect with all emotional expressions.
