I am a visual artist based in New York City. My work explores how human nature becomes visible through the structures we build, from architecture and cities to the social systems that shape everyday life. Through drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation, I examine how our environments reveal memory, identity, and the constant tension between order and instinct.
My practice begins with observation. I am drawn to the subtle ways human behavior leaves traces in the spaces we create, and how those spaces, in turn, shape the way we think, move, and relate to one another. I see architecture not only as a physical object, but as a record of our beliefs, desires, fears, and attempts to create meaning. My hope is that the work invites viewers to slow down, question what feels familiar, and see their surroundings with greater awareness.
I work across a range of mediums, selecting each for its ability to explore structure, material, light, and perception. Whether through drawing, painting, sculpture, fabrication, or digital processes, the medium serves the idea rather than defining it.
I received my MFA in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid in 2007. I work from my studio in New York City's East Village. My installations include Oligarch Club in Brooklyn, Sukkahville in Toronto, and Divine Line at Inrivers Art Gallery. My work has also been exhibited at Aronson Gallery, Fowler Studios, The Roommate Hotel, and Mel Lastman. Alongside my studio practice, I have worked in architectural design and fabrication studios in New York, experiences that continue to shape my understanding of structure, material, and space.
