The use of fabric napkins is inherent in our Spanish home culinary ritual. Each family member - in my childhood, and even now - has their own “servilleteros” or napkin rings, to identify their own “servilleta”. Each "servilleta" or napkin is thus personal and will be used all week up until it is washed again. The triptych “Servilletas” draws up - literally - the ritual of eating and togetherness. The conversations, frictions, and uncountable meals and washes. It is a piece in which I drew, meticulously and using a variety of graphic media including collage, a collection of imagery on the last three “servilletas” that survived more than 10 years of (my) family servings. On each of the three “Servilletas” I follow the traces, highlight the marks, and depict a collection of invented memories; tiny stories that I imagined could be archived within those used, inanimate orange fabric “bodies”.

My work explores togetherness, intimacy and belonging, aspects of time, and the convergence of internal and external realities. I use different media interchangeably, like performance, drawings, sculptures, and installations. Working with- and from the body, my ritualistic performances and installations act as scaffolds where humans, objects, lines, and colors are invited to construct and experience moments of togetherness. I work mainly with series and ritualistic works, often years long, and which are embedded in my daily personal routines. I often work with series and ritualistic works, often years long, and which are embedded in my daily personal routines. For the collection offered here I chose a special selection of one of my longest ritualistic series named "Periscope". In this series, each day a drawing is produced using the same size and technique: archival-ink pen and watercolor on paper. Each day an imaginary, abstract periscope peeps to capture that which happens both inside and outside of my body. A journal of moments, each drawing depicts the embodied narrative I capture at that moment in time: the inner, the outer, thoughts, memories, the world’s news, or the imaginary. Each drawing is understood as an open window to be entered, and interpreted by the viewer. Curator Beatrice Fontana writes about this series: "The collection is filled with fascinating little details, anthropomorphic forms and fantastical figures, ethereal yet with a tenacious physicality. Dreamlike dimensions that confront text-thoughts and multiply voices, generating a bold chorality. A miniature snapshot of a colorful and pensive collective, portrayed with its human cargo of thoughts and dreams." The series "Periscope" has been exhibited several times and it is part of numerous private collections. I grew up in Madrid, Spain and was trained as an architect. After graduating I work as an independent designer in New York City, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Madrid, Shanghai, and London, before moving to Zurich in 2013. As an independent designer I work across cultures, teams, disciplines and media, including graphic design, scenography, interiors and installations. In 2015 I receive an Adapt-r Marie Curie European grant for a residency period in Brussels, during which I develop my first performances. Even though my work was highly creative and experimental during my long period as a designer, it is at this moment when my practice is definitely positioned in the arts.
