I have always felt a strong need to travel. Visiting new places provides me with a fresh perspective on the tangible world but also on what is happening at that moment in my life. This is why I consider it essential to create physical spaces that represent these processes of reflection and the emotions that shape them, resulting in mental landscapes. I like creating worlds in which eyes and minds sow their images and emotions. Drawing from my architecture, design, and classical dance training, I build scenographies in my paintings that serve as a meeting point for beings from different dimensions.
My work was born during the pandemic, which may explain why it shows areas where the exterior breaks in to merge with the interior. It features environments where humans coexist harmoniously with animals and vegetation in compositions that evoke a sense of tranquility and surprise-free existence. I draw inspiration from music and the fluidity of movement when dancing. Since I live near the sea in Mexico, water, the color blue, and animals are almost always present in my work.
I believe that dreams are windows to other dimensions, and I am interested in bringing these visions to the light of the canvas. I am particularly intrigued by the messages that people recall when they dream of their deceased relatives or animals, as well as the symbols used in these communications—such as personal belongings or varying types of skies, which is why I have included them in my paintings.
Light plays a crucial role in my work, especially in telling the stories of forced migration from Syria to Sweden. I believe that showcasing universes and experiences inaccessible to everyone is necessary. I would like my work to provoke the viewer to go inward and escape into realms beyond time and space. By transcending shapes, colors, and geographical boundaries, I aim to connect the viewer with a place where many individuals are linked by their essence, fostering a sense of empathy and connection.
