Words are everywhere. They can be a snapshot of our lives or give sense to a particular moment. Our identity is connected to the way we express ourselves with words – but they are too often used as proof of our knowledge and intelligence - they serve us perfectly at certain instants and betray us desperately at others.

Through the years I have looked for unconventional ways to communicate with words. I focus on the rhythm, physical patterns and shapes of words as opposed to their actual meaning, like listening to the music of a language you don’t understand. My use of words generates a writing that doesn’t have to be read and leaves open a physicality that can free us from their meaning.

The words I write start with their own meaning to become a decodified writing; a composition of expressionist writing or “ Scriptograms”. To free myself from the traditional gesture of writing, I choreograph an ambidextrous gesture to neutralize, as much as is possible a dominant movement. My hands follow the rhythm of the dip pen or brush, caressing and tearing the many levels of the paper. My work aims to reveal a stratification of time by juxtaposing both transparent and opaque realities that are open to personal interpretation.

At first, I would like the viewers to follow a reading pattern that follows their automatic need to decodify a text, and then with time discover a personal interpretation in the realities that exist physically outside the assigned meanings of the words and texts.

My ‘photoscripts’ are a recent evolution of the most abstract sense of writing taken from my painting restoration experience where figuration is composed of many abstract details - where what remains is also the physical trace of a moment or gesture.

My photographs - ‘moments’ - are a search for traces of time and language, within the world around us. A mark or the sign from an action on a surface creates a recording or message that can be interpreted by our understanding of the meanings and codes of this new language.

My installations are multi-sensorial environments that try to integrate a place where we can literally sense, touch and listen to the sound of writing in its physical aspect.
