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 kind of 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. This piece is the first brainstorming I did for my pperformance Fragmentos recobrados, on psychological abuse and gender violence (you can see some excerpts on my youtube channel). This calligraphic piece is composed of 'found phrases' related to gender violence: "Look, listen and be quiet, Nothing more than cries, you cannot complain, shut up". The calligraphic scripts applied in this work are historical (uncials) and contemporary.

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.
