The fragmented existence.

A series of works that recreate environments within a fantasy of everyday idealism, driven by the recycling of photographic material, prints, disused documents, mixed brushes, traditional techniques and the use of AI as a means of visual expression of the written word. The support is not of interest, but rather the obtaining of environments, landscapes and illustrations that allow us to appreciate, in the heterogeneity of the results obtained, workshop experiences, processes, randomness and even a bit of luck. Experimentation as a way to obtain unpredictable results, which are then modified and reconditioned through conscious or automatic actions.

The dilemma of existence in the face of situations that disrupt the stability of body and mind, and the risk of internal fragmentation in the face of the collapse of our reality are best reflected in the use of collage as the main means of visual expression. It allows me to combine visual elements from the past with the present to generate a vision of an uncertain future, the creation of an abstract multiverse, of forms that emerge from our subconscious through the coupling of heterogeneous elements. The use of time as a tool for the systematic generation of primary visual results that are then analyzed, and not as a circadian limitation of creativity.
