Artist statement

Sound and visual artist, cultural manager and disruptive teacher, in his work he resorts to different practices such as sound art, performance, sculpture, drawing, photo and installation that, without separating from improvisation as the main resource, elaborate a discourse through translation, error and interference within the different artistic languages. Technically he is interested in the use of technology from its most basic meaning: technical-logical. That is, a technique used in an appropriate way to solve or pose a problem. Assume the use of resources and technological tools not as novel or ornamental artifacts but as tools of change that offer different possibilities to understand and question reality.
