Constantly introduce myself new esthetic codes in order to express a personal language in a permanent evolution a particular vision of the world. My painting and installations alter and exchange our natural conventions in such a way that the expression of emotion is profoundly personal. MY artwork conjoins passion, sensuality , critical view and a constantly evoked perspective of impeachment that pretends to leave a footprint which echoes in society. Inter wined feelings for a past and, a present witch demonstrates a reality with an exponential complexity on the helplessness and finitude of the human being.

Femicide is imbedded in gender violence, targeting girls and women. It can be explained as a series of crimes that emerge from inequality and discrimination, in relation to gender power.

Statistics say that one out of three women worldwide will suffer from fiscal or sexual abuse throughout her life.
Reducing violence against women has become one of the priorities of development policies and humanitarian action plans of all countries, we need a huge effort for these rights for women and girls to prevail so they can live a life free from violence.
In sense this proposal evokes not forgetting, not eluding, and not avoiding the violent realities that corrode our lives, that infect our ideals, that in-cage our principals, but above all illuminate the cause of all victims, and why not, also uncovering societies alibis that day to day are created to cover the cruel reality.
The nymph that accompanied Persefone that day, observed everything that happened to Perséfone, it is believed that this happens in an unattached way without intervening in a y way. This is why the nymph where punished turned into mermaids that eternity grief.

Wow! What a powerful exhibition! The myth of Persephone also connects with the moment we are experiencing in relation to the Earth, the mother. At the same time the possibility of a rebirth after passing through the darkness. The rebirth of feminine energy.
