Instalations​

Between desire and seduction
In this installation composed of used shoes, handcuffs and a red carpet I speak to the feeling of imprisonment of relationships.

Relationships can be very oppressive or very liberating.
The red carpet represents life and our ambitions.  The used shoes are a representation of people who are or were part of our lives. 
The shoes usually belong to people I know. 

Views on transition This installation is composed of white tulle, human hair, and a transparent bubble representing the womb.
Hair is the strongest element in our bodies.  It is the first thing to come out when we are born and it is what remains when we die.
The white tulle is found around the cradle to protect the baby and also in the coffin, covering the dead body.
The beat is, naturally, our heartbeat, a cord connecting worlds, both internal and external.
The hair was accumulated during a period of three years through haircuts performed by myself on people I know.
See the video on youtube please as views on transition.

 
 

Installation: The creation of the world:
The Creation of the World

Modern Art, in its various facets, becomes self-reflective and thinks objectively about the surface on which it is developed.
The artistic expression is a very personal issue and each artist builds as he goes along in connection with the world he/she wants to express.
The egg represents the womb which has the divine ability to receive and protect but can reject all the while.  In this process, whatever was protected remains so in time and space, contemplating solitude and anonymity even in a most convoluted existence.
Artists that built and integrate art history, each one occupying a special place in my work, with Van Gogh at the center – his emotions and anxiety translating my own feelings.
Human hair is always present in my work as it is a means to financial stability and allows my incursion in the creative world.
The painted eyes, one by one, are the vital expression that does not allow us to hide our truth.
Each set of eyes is represented by a different artist, including Picasso, Joseph Beuys, Marc Chagall, Georges Braque, Giorgio de Chirico, Carlo Carra, Henry Moore, Frank Stella, Christo, Toshimitsu Imai, Willen de Kooning and many others.
