My work has evolved from photography and video to performance art, a practice that I am dedicated since 2007 almost exclusively, taking part in numerous performance festivals, events, and residences, like Morocco, Canada, Finland, Ukraine, Norway…
I conceive artistic creation as an act closely linked to life, so that my works need to be sincere and be connected to my personal experiences and everyday life. I am interested in the little things, the seemingly insignificant; driving force and inspiration for my work, often linked to memory and memories, also austere in terms of technical and material needs. I am interested in performance art because of its interaction with the public and how it contributes for the work to exist, making them the protagonist of my performances that invite to intimate communication. I like to play, challenges, absurdity, and nonsense, causing situations or experiences that push me to dilate personal boundaries.
My passion for performance art motivate me to organize and promote performance art´s practice, co-organizing the project EXCHANGE Live Art with artist Ana Matey, investigating on communication, taking action art as a basis of this research, making residences, laboratories, and art meetings. I combine my artistic and management activity with teaching, conducting workshops in different contexts and institutions, such as art centers, universities and independent spaces.
I am a bachelor in Fine Arts, Polytechnic University, Valencia, European Erasmus Scholarship in Athens (Greece) and Valencia Polytechnic University Scholarship in La Habana (Cuba). I finish a Master in Art Production and Research in Granada University (Spain) with the final Master´s Thesis “Performance Art. Tools and Resources for Teaching”.
