my work in visual arts
As a visual artist, I develop work in two areas: Macumbas Gráphycas and Expressive Masks.
Macumbas Gráphycas are oil paintings on canvas or wood that establish a focal point or portal. This work is developed on commission or as ready-made pieces, circulating through the personal universe of each commissioner and the Dionysian poetics of the artist.
Expressive Masks are objects created for theater, performances, processions, and other needs. They are custom-made using techniques learned from Chilean artist Gaspar Olivares and through ongoing study and practice in collaboration with set designer and architect Lais Damato.
