– Casa Wabi 2023

Community Project

The project was about the image of a place and its representation, about the natural heritage and the luminescent organisms that can be seen in the Manialtepec lagoon. From a drawing workshop with the children of the Aguaje el Zapote community, we sought to get them to capture how they identify their territory and what shapes the luminescence suggests to them. Based on the results, a mural was made with luminescent quartz in a building on the town’s dock.

In my work, there’s an insistence on the inhabitability of spaces, which leads to a questioning of the “domestication” of the modern dweller, as well as an autobiographical reference that articulates a discourse about individual and collective memory. In this recurrence to the image of places and their appropriation through art, the city, the public space, emerges as a privileged scenario of everyday life, with its signs of identity and creative potential. Through different formats, my work speaks about how our environment and its architecture influence us, distinguishing between the lived space, which operates unconsciously, and the physical and geometric space. I also emphasize different intellectual states that occur when relating to our immediate surroundings, such as the basic emotional need for belonging to a place. Recently, I have had solo exhibitions, such as the project “Un fatal descontento de Lugar” at NF NIEVES FERNANDEZ Gallery in Madrid. I have participated in courses like “La Ciudad y la Invención” at Intermediae –
Matadero and “Ciudad Sur” at CA2M, among others. I have received production grants, such as Propuestas VEGAP 2020 from the Ministry of Culture, as well as the Production Scholarship from the Community of Madrid. I have exhibited at ZONA MACO, Mexico City, in collective exhibitions like “Una historia del Arte reciente (1960 – 2020)” at DKV Collection and Juan March Foundation, at the Abstract Art Museum of Cuenca, and in
“Dialecto CA2M” at the Museum of Contemporary Art Dos de Mayo, Móstoles, Madrid. I’ve also exhibited at “Ya no baila la luz en mi sonrisa, Capítulo II” at Ana Mas Gallery, Barcelona, and “La Noche más corta” at Aural Gallery in Madrid and Alicante, as well as at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante (MACA).
