I work in three art medias: Drawing, Painting and Photography. I'm very interested in Sigmund Freud's theories in Psychoanalysis. But my art work is deeply connected to my own childhood and my sisters. I have two younger sisters whom I have always felt very responsible for. I try to recover pieces of remembrance in my Paintings and Drawings. At the same time, I began creating characters that show certain Psychic pathologies, in order to justify the forgetting of infancy I have, or the blank periods of time in my memory. Real anecdotes are mixed with fantasy in the structure of the character. The drawing series Neurosis, exemplifies a translation from an abstract psychic disease into a graphic language, with all its consequences. This is an other way to go back to childhood years, and an opportunity to play with its good side, and its bad one. It is in some way, a constant introspective self reflection, a self analysis. I'm very interested in creating images that look sweet and beautiful at the first look, but when someone takes a second look into it, they unravel damaged and crooked meanings. This perverse side of the image contrasts with the sweetness of the line in the drawing. It looks like clean drawings, clean lines, representing scenes with girls. Soft colors in the atmosphere, with deep psychological content, showed in the girl's attitude.
