Latest Works, 2024

Fragments

The body of work from the last few years extensively uses collage techniques alongside painting. The works are constructed from thin layers of silk paper sheets, prepared in advance by dyeing, manual printing, wrinkling, folding, tearing, and cutting. Along with these thin layers, I use pages from old encyclopedias, which often constitute the conceptual and structural skeleton of the work.

The interaction between the accidental and the deliberate, between the abstract and the concrete, is one of the central elements in my work.

Anatomy of the Uncertain

Anatomy of the Uncertain, an artist's book, served as a platform for conceptual and material experimentation and a medium for testing new work techniques. This artist's book was used as the basis for the body of work titled "Fragments".

The book is based on and inspired by an old Argentinian encyclopedia from 1945.

Lost Cities

In this body of work, I constructed imaginary and hybrid landscapes based on the remains of urban memories and dreams.

The works contain layers of elements from different worlds, times, and spaces, including the use of abstract images of cities and landscapes. There is an interplay of structures from different cultures and eras, often revealing traces of ruins emerging from the wreckage.

The paintings are built up through layers of collage, imprints, and oil paint on plywood.

Interiors

A group of works in which I made connections or hybrids of different types of interiors and constructions. In these works, I also dealt with the afterglow - the last glow of light when the sun sinks and turns the plains and the shadows into a dreamlike feeling.

After Dawn

An artist’s book that provided the foundation for the body of work "Lost Cities." In this book, I extensively used image transfer techniques alongside collage. It was inspired by a fragment from the story "The Mirror and the Mask" written by Jorge L. Borges:

"In the dawn - said the poet - I woke up speaking words I did not understand. Those words were a poem. I felt I had committed a sin, perhaps one the Holy Ghost does not forgive.

The one we two now share, whispered the king. The sin of having known beauty, which is a gift forbidden to men."

Miscellaneous

Small Works

These are small-format, curiosity-driven, and materially playful works created during intervals between periods of larger-scale creation.
