Using a language close to Post-Painterly Abstraction, my work analyzes the role of Latin American popular culture in the for­mation of aesthetic patterns and shared discourses in the region. I also explore the representation of Latin American modernism and gender identity.

My work raises questions regarding the ways in which these representations influence our desires and  interactions based on repeated behaviors over time, shaping conventions that eventually become a sort of canon.

Despite my marked interest in the repetition of these social patterns, my approach is neither anthropological nor sociological. Instead, it is rooted in encounters with concrete things or moments: clothing, architectural elements, or even lines of dialogue from a telenovela (soap opera), undertaking an exploration based on visuals and sound.

 

By appropriating these elements and implementing methodologies closely related to queering, I create  subtle acts of subversion by translating the aforementioned elements into other materials and highlighting details that have frequently gone unnoticed within the dictates of these roles.

 

Most recently my research focuses on gender violence in Latin America and how popular culture is involved in the process of normalizing structures that place women as a potential victim.
