RECENT WORKS

My work focuses on casas abandonadas/abandoned buildings. With a background in architecture and art I gravitate to this theme. There is plenty of mystery and history in decaying buildings and gardens. The textures, colours and sense of materials merging into the undergrowth is evocative. A combination of collage and photo transfer are my preferred media. The impact of collage I feel is more powerful and evocative than pure painting and has lead me into more inventive and ‘controlled’ spontaneous work. I dye transparent papers, find appropriate magazine cuttings and work to splice and glue them together. I have begun to incorporate my own piano compositions into some of the videos I make to accompany the artworks.
