Drawing, 30 x 30 cm

The artist collects small and simple objects from everyday life, and her interest lies in monotonous and repetitive gestures. Her work is a study of the cyclical and infinite nature of time, an exercise in discipline, a praise of the trivial, a tribute to boredom.

Through silicone collages and iconographic mounds, he creates portrait carpets with satire and disobedience. Artworks scattered on the floor and demystified sacralized spaces of art, in a narrative that the New York-based Spanish artist writes with ink and acrylic to break down an uncertain tradition.
