I made records of actions, installations, videos, residences, self-residences, different practices that I deployed based on the drawing. My recent work focuses on the drawing piece. My sources are diverse, I appropriate images from art history such as graphic novels or applied art, etc. To do this I use materials or visual resources specific to each genre, sometimes taking the line to the limit of the field of painting. I am interested in the possibility that the line has of generating another underlying reading of the first surface of representation, whether in the relationship between characters or the shapes that appear in a landscape. In my work the idea of drawing operates in an analogous way to the function of the ghost, arranging a scenario in continuous act of appearances and disappearances.
