Artist Statement

My work moves between painting and writing—two practices through which I register the present and explore the space between being alive and memory. I’m drawn to what exists in between: the time between gestures, the pause between words, the layers between surface and meaning. These subtle spaces—where memory, presence, and language intersect—form the ground of my practice. ​ Language is both subject and material. I often refer to it as an expression of the body in relationship with nature, as is it understood by Indigenous communities of the South American lowlands. Through language, I trace the intangible: memory, heritage, and the echoes that shape them. I explore how memory settles into form—into objects—and how meaning gathers through texture, repetition, and erasure, honoring what is partial, fragmented, and still unfolding. ​ My work lives in the tension between what is visible and what is remembered, what is articulated and what is lost. This in-between space—shifting, layered, and unresolved—is where my work chooses to reside.
