Visual artist, researcher, and curator, lives and works in Brussels. 

The projects I develop explore our relationship with the contemporary environment, visual culture and technology, problematising them while highlighting visual languages and their aesthetic potential. From painting to installations, publications and embroidery, I try to develop visual narratives that serve as points of dialogue and reflection on the themes of work, ecology, the Internet, visual culture and our own identity.

Recently graduated from the Curatorial Studies Postgraduate programme run by KASK & Conservatorium, SMAK and Ghent University. I also hold a Master's degree in Research in Art and Creation from Complutense University of Madrid and a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona.

As a visual artist, researcher and curator by training, I am interested in experimentation and interactions between these disciplines, establishing mixed perspectives and working methods. As part of my curatorial practice, I develop initiatives to promote and support emerging and established artists fairly, while emphasising the importance of accessibility in the art world.

During these last years I have combined my work as artistic assistant and communications professional with artistic and research residencies, such as Zomerresidentie at De Garage in Leuven, Laboratori d’hivern at El Corralito in Terrassa, and Pintores Pensionados del Paisaje at Segovia.  

Some of my works have been shown in different exhibitions, which include Art au Centre, Roca Umbert Creation Centre, KoMASK, the Esther Montoriol Gallery and the MEAM. At the same time, they have been selected in different awards, among which are the International Drawing Competition Ynglada Guillot and the young exhibition Muestra de Arte Joven de la Rioja.
