In "Fragment of a Sunset," the artist deftly intertwines their background in landscape architecture with the emotional landscape of personal experience. Crafted from raw wood canvas, the piece exudes a sense of organic authenticity, while the inclusion of a tree bark shelf serves as a poignant reminder of the immutable connection between humanity and the natural world. At the heart of the composition lies a conventional ceramic pot, juxtaposed against the ephemeral beauty of an ikebana arrangement. This juxtaposition symbolizes the tension between permanence and transience, as the fresh flowers, vibrant and alive during the exhibition, inevitably succumb to decay, mirroring the inevitable passage of time and the impermanence of human relationships. "Fragment of a Sunset" becomes a vessel for the artist's introspection, as they navigate the complexities of love and loss. Through the lens of their narrative, the work invites viewers to contemplate the fragility of human connections and the inevitability of change. As the flowers wilt and fade, so too does the illusion of permanence, leaving behind a poignant reminder of the impermanence of all things. In this way, the artist transcends the confines of traditional artistic expression, weaving together elements of nature, emotion, and metaphor to create a multifaceted exploration of the human experience. Through "Fragment of a Sunset," they invite us to confront our own vulnerabilities and embrace the beauty of life's fleeting moments. Within the series of artworks to which "Fragment of a Sunset" belongs, the artist orchestrates a unique interactive experience, inviting future beholders to participate in a subtle performance of reflection and renewal. As custodians of these pieces, viewers are encouraged to engage with the composition, both emotionally and physically, by changing the flower arrangement.

My artistic practice is a rich tapestry woven from years of experiences in Architecture and Landscape Architecture, developed through rigorous training in Mexico, Belgium, and Germany. This diverse background has profoundly influenced my approach to art, intertwining technical precision with creative expression. The pivotal moment in my career came during my first solo construction project of a residence in Mexico. This hands-on encounter with a complete working site catalyzed a transformative decision to channel the thoughts, sketches, and memories accumulated over the years into tangible contemporary art pieces. Central to my work is the exploration of the intricate relationship between the human psyche and nature. This theme is expressed through a dynamic interplay of natural and constructed elements, capturing the vibrant and tangible spirit of nature and matter. My artistic process often begins with repurposing materials from construction sites, such as leftover wires and twisted rods. These elements, once discarded and overlooked, are reimagined and transformed into evocative sculptures and installations. By employing techniques like laser cutting and incorporating diverse materials such as brass and concrete, I create pieces that challenge viewers to reconsider their perception of space, identity, and reality. One notable series, "Gestalt," delves into these themes by using the principles of Gestalt psychology to provoke reflection on spatial location and the human experience within constructed environments. Another significant work, "The Shape of the Migrator," is a series of sculptures shaped in human form, composed of soil from specific locations, seeds, and small organic remains. The mixture is compacted into a cast inspired by the shape of my own body. These sculptures gradually disintegrate and degrade into the environment, with seeds sprouting and organic materials enriching the surrounding area. This work symbolizes the transient nature of migration and the cyclical relationship between humans and their environments. In my installations, I often blend organic elements with man-made structures. For instance, the "Sunset at the Sea Shore" piece features a painting of a pink sunset complemented by a found tree bark-made shelf holding an ikebana arrangement. This work not only evokes a sense of nostalgia and lost love but also celebrates the intersection of natural beauty and human emotion.
