Artist statement

My work consists on collecting and making a re-codification of commodity objects and media images. I restructure them through two main procedures: edition and montage. The former is de-constructive and the latter constructive. A fundamental concept in my work is nullification, which stands as a discourse about the culture of complacency, the neutralization of criticality and the annulment of the individual in the era of information. Either with an image or an object, the basic process is the same: I select and alter what I see in order to construct what I want to see. I am a visual artist.
