The Artist Says

I am a transdisciplinary artist, oral performer and linguistic nomad. My artistic practice pays attention to the things we take for granted or find insignificant. It focuses on those inconspicuous actions that are essential components of our lives, and addresses everyday issues that irk us, thus becoming a guardian of small gestures to make the most of them. In my research, I often take on the role of a host to facilitate connections between people, places, and topics on various levels and to form communities that create a sense of belonging, make us more whole, and resonate with the artistic results. My strategies and methodologies are intentionally harmless and unspectacular. I use literary fiction as a place of trust and safety, writing and drawing as acts of demand, and my own body in performance as a medium for evoking, visualising, and constellating the presence of others. My work is in constant dialogue with what I am and what I am not, what I can contribute, and where my limits lie.

I am based in Barcelona since more then 20 years. If you’d like to know more, please don’t hesitate to write me a card, a letter, a mail or come and visit me at my residency at SaTorre, minimal space of maximum creativity.
