As a performance artist, I am concerned about the documentation of the creative process behind each of my pieces and I have found in calligraphy the best way to do so, because is a practice closely related to my personal and academic background. Loosely inspired by Futurist paroliberismo (words-in-freedom) this pieces are a kind of brainstorming diagram I usually do during my creative process. It is a brainstorming that is not only conceptual, but also plastic and aesthetic and reflects the physical action involved in writting. In this particular piece, I express some of the main concepts involved in my performances: Pleasure, action, body, mind, time, espace, immediacy,experience, now. There is a mixture between historical and contemporary callygraphies.

I'm an interdisciplinary artist and researcher devoted to experimental music, performance art, video art and calligraphy.  My artistic work proposes a meeting point between experimental music, performance art and video art, which I conceive as tools for exploring contemporary subjectivity, addressing issues such as gender, identity, fragility, eroticism, intimacy and affection.

I work by combining artisan elements, such as weaving and calligraphy, with low-cost digital technologies, such as home camcorders and free software. Through these elements, I propose a dialogue between ideas derived from the humanities and the materiality of artistic practice, trying to reconcile conceptual thinking with the sensoriality of the body.

As an artist and a researcher, I consider the application of humanities knowledge in the artistic creation, as a way to encourage reflection and awareness through aesthetic experience, because I think art is an invitation (or a provocation) to think and ask questions.
