bio

multi-disciplinary and mixed-media artist, with an inextinguishable desire to explore the self, the relation of the self with the other, the relation of the self with the self, the relation of the self the relation of the self, the self the self.inspired by all art that is raw, innovative, meaningful, instinctive, and made by "mistake".
aspiring to make art that is raw, innovative, meaningful, instinctive, and is a mistake.
previously obtained a BSc in public health at the Erasmus University College and a MSc in epidemiology at the Netherlands Institute of Health Sciences. interested in sexual and reproductive health, women's and girls' rights, inclusive and patient-centred healthcare, and HIV research, specifically its cultural and societal contexts.in the end, all the subjects of the world are not that different, nor that separated. they all converge into multifaceted individuals with many interests and many forms of expression, and that is who I am as an artist.

painting

the dot, 2017
oil on paper
21x30cm
the dot symbolises an ideological ending... the end of a sentence, a full stop.this work was created during a time marked by deep feelings of loss and anger toward boundaries that I could not define and that did not seem capable of containing my being.

sculpture

glaze explorations, 2025
exploration with red clay and lead-based glazes.

sole di terracotta, 2025
white clay vase and underpass decorated with see-through glaze.
this terracotta sunflower (sole di terracotta) aims to reproduce an organic texture, with grooves where the underglaze collects: some are dark and smooth to the touch, others lighter and rougher.the idea is to create a design of organic form for the organic world itself.

red vase, 2025
red clay vase decorated with red and black glaze, and hand scratched.
not visible in the photo, four lines were scratched with fingernails on the four “sides” of the vase, following the movement of the incisions that shape the vase.these lines geometrically expose the terracotta beneath.
the geometry used in red vase, together with the choice of red and black colours, recalls constructivist art, cold and rigid, placing it in direct contrast with the organic form of the vase and the small “pools” of colourful shades in each groove.

drip explorations, 2025
red clay vase, decorated with lead-based glazes.

photography and digital

drowning in tears, 2016
photomontage.
drowning in tears is a self-portrait based on the concept of the human eye as a canvas for inner experiences.this photomontage is designed to be viewed from a distance, so that the head of the figure at the center can appear as the iris of the eye.

the hug, 2016
photomontage.
the hug is a dreamlike exploration of human connection, intimacy, and vulnerability. the different layers through which the viewer’s eye travels may recall the photomontages of jerry uelsmann.by showing more than the eye can see, this work portrays two people who, in embracing each other, become one. at the same time, they dissolve, slipping into non-existence.

BUSCÁNDOME/ESPERÁNDOME, 2025
performance, with linocut soles tied to my feet with transparent nylon string.
walking, I leave footprints that say buscándome (searching for myself) and esperándome (a word play meaning both “waiting for myself” and “hoping myself”). the first word is clear: I move forward trying to understand who I am, searching for myself. the second word describes the wait to become (who I want to be? who I am authentically?). in the meantime, I "hope myself", I manifest. the footprints gradually fade: the further I go, the harder it becomes to understand where I came from.at the end of the performance, I reveal the marks caused by the nylon thread: a discomfort that was “transparent” to the eyes of others, but that left a mark on me.
in this work, the body is not only a theme to be interpreted autobiographically but also a crucial medium for expression.
