My artistic practice has been constantly propelled by concerns and quests about the me belonging to a space. Positioning myself as a corporeal individuality and transparent same time.

This has converged in photography as a language, which has given me the possibility of intimate self-recognition. Likewise, the city has provided me with a form of anonymous a belonging that perfectly adapts to my desires and limits.

Photography, urban landscapes, perception, silence, and introspection are concepts tha my artistic process and each creation.

Photographic series within the framework of the Contemporary Photography Workshop, Universidad de Concepción.

That mysterious boundary between the public and the private, the way those portals and their lights form a frontier between the common habitat and one ' s own place. Concepción, 2019

This artwork seeks to reflect urban chaos and possibilities. On five of its faces, different collages can be observed, which were created from digital photographs. The transparency of both the images and the volume itself allows for new ways of seeing and connecting one side of the body to the other.

This piece was produced during the pandemic and was part of the collective and online exhibition 'Rehabitarse' (Rehabilitating).

Materiales mixtos 104 x 56 x 18 cm

Photographic series carried out during the social unrest in Chile. These images depict the remnants of the streets during those days, but in close-ups, aiming not to take prejudices or interpretations for granted. It focuses on the detail that points something out to us and allows us to remember it from our own perspective.

Some of these photographs were part of the collective exhibition Isotopías visuales, evidencias del post. (Visual Isotopies, Evidence of the Post). Casa del Arte José Clemente Orozco

Concepción,

Series of analog collages as part of the process of searching and producing new visualities that adapt to a personal way of experiencing the city. The abstraction of the compositions and at the same time the concreteness of each image that forms them become a contradiction and a whole at once.

These pieces were part of the collective exhibition No. 63 Collage at Aura Gallery.

This installation piece is the result of the production process initiated with previous work in collage. The focus on urban photographs, abstract collages, and the support on which they are installed complete an invitation to look and reconnect. Observing and navigating the city in a more conscious, present, and reflective manner.

Intersecciones was part of the collective exhibition Desfase, experiencias liminales (Displacement, liminal experiences) at Casa del Arte José Clemente Orozco.

These pieces belong to an ongoing work in progress. Continuing the need to recreate spaces and visualities, these digital collages aim to shape new urban compositions, nonexistent but present. Additionally, there is a beginning to grant permission to display that personal anonymity as part of these constructions.

Photographic series in continuous production. Captures that reflect a conscious and invisible journey and exploration, being part of a city that doesn't need a name or geographical location. Allowing the images to invite completion of the free and subjective frame.
