Nowadays



MY work consists of active series spanning urbanism, art, science, and humanities, exploring liminal spaces and creating sensitivity layers through the accumulation of experiences. 


Each discipline interweaves with its context, generating dynamic encounters that challenge permanence and perception. In architecture, projects like the Trole Building in Madrid stand out for transforming industrial structures into adaptable workspaces that dialogue with their surroundings. In the field of installation art, series such as YELLOW BAG use a simple everyday object to mark transitions and presence across urban settings like Madrid and Lagos. From the perspective of science and technology, projects like Psicología Ambiental Hoy delve into human interaction with space through perception and memory, analyzing how environments shape behavior. In film, the COPOS series comprises over 500 videos documenting urban interventions, exploring the idea of an unstable archive. For performance, works like DOBLE CARA investigate duality and perception through choreographic movements and installations. Finally, in the humanities, CAPA (Council of Applied Art and Philosophy) integrates theory and practice, proposing new hermeneutic frameworks to redefine authorship and cultural production.

Projects are often situated at the intersection of urban space and social dynamics, using subtle interventions to shift perceptions. Works like Spanish Bar capture the fading essence of traditional community hubs, transforming familiar locations into contexts for reflection on cultural shifts. In the ongoing series TWINS, the city becomes a fragmented reality of mirrored elements and contrasts, creating a dialogue between symmetry and rupture across urban landscapes. The textile-based project Re(T)exHile, presented at the IV Lagos Biennial, explores sustainability and memory through fabric, addressing the dualities of preservation and transformation. In Conversation Installation, ephemeral dialogues become the core medium, turning the spoken word into an art form that evolves with each participant’s input, challenging the traditional stability of exhibitions.

Many projects focus on material transformation and the poetics of absence. The Subtraction Series involves precise cuts and removals from natural landscapes, revealing the fragility of human intervention and the resilience of the environment. With MUDAS, ephemeral sculptures created from fresh banana leaves slowly decay over time, symbolizing cycles of change and cultural identity. In the collaborative and site-specific Restoran Splendid, the idea of rotating authorship dissolves the hierarchy between artists, creating a visual dialogue on equality and presence. Similarly, The Light in Cádiz is a meditative exploration of form and color, using minimal interventions to alter the perception of coastal landscapes and urban boundaries.





Artistic expressions often delve into the tension between form and formlessness. In the KINGDOM SERIES, temporary landscape interventions subtly alter natural surroundings to explore the fragility of ecosystems and the transient impact of human presence. The MEAT SERIES uses precise cuts in everyday objects, such as sofas and chairs, to transform them into sculptural forms that evoke themes of fragmentation and restoration. The drawing project KING DREAM consists of raw, unfinished forms that embrace imperfection, capturing primal emotions through a continuous line, as part of the ongoing STONE GARDEN series.


Other projects explore the fluid dynamics of space and narrative. STRUCTURAL CONVERSATIONS engages with architecture and language, inviting audiences to reflect on how structures—both physical and social—shape human interaction. The FRAMED BENDED SERIES pushes metal into organic shapes, capturing a process of continuous transformation. THE ROAD TO RESTORATION documents cultural sites and their conservation, exploring how the past informs future narratives. Thermodynamic Essays explore the interplay between elemental forces—water, stone, and fire—creating poetic interactions that reveal nature’s hidden dynamism.


Across these projects, the aim is to use art as a lens for rethinking presence, identity, and transformation. Each piece—whether through sculpture, performance, film, or architecture—becomes a tool for examining the boundaries between permanence and impermanence, creating a dialogue between context, action, and memory.
