ABOUT:

"In my work I explore the idea of queer poetics and vulnerability. My drawings and paintings are a documentation of my own lived experience. In them, I investigate ways in which we can decelerate our gaze and express what cannot be expressed with words. My inspiration comes from my family, half spanish and half venezuelan, and my non binary identification. I understand my body as a multiplicity in constant transformation, a body made into pieces, a body- animal, a body-monster. And that is how I represent it in my art. Bodies that communicate with animals, activating ancestral rituals that go beyond the gender binary. Fragmented bodies that resist the normalisation of our bodies and experiences. Vulnerability, sadness, and loneliness are essential in my work. They are qualities that our society tries to censure and make private. My aim is to make these experiences public and shared."

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
