Statement: As the transgressive figure of contemporary pop-surrealism, I develop a work that subverts the codes of art and popular culture. Through vibrant graphics and the imagery of Pop Art, I appropriate iconic references to disarm them, decontextualize them and return them to the present as an uncomfortable reflection of our reality. I deliberately ignore any ideological or cultural legacy of the past, because I do not seek to pay homage, but to question, provoke and rewrite their meanings. I resort to collage as a starting point, not only as a visual technique but as a statement of rupture. It is in that initial pause where a rich aesthetic emerges in materials, technical solutions and unexpected combinations that, without needing to conform to an established order, give shape to a spontaneous, irreverent and deeply contemporary visual language. My work bursts into symbols, dismantles the sacred and turns the recognizable into objects of reflection, irony or contradiction. I do not seek answers; I generate frictions. Because in the clash between the iconic and the absurd, between the revered and the banal, the distorted mirror of our time emerges. My collages are directed at those who made freedom a form of resistance and still recognize themselves in the dreams, excesses, contradictions and cultural conquests of the decades that transformed the 20th century. It is also a homage to those who survived the pandemic without renouncing their identity, memory or their desire to live life fully.
