I was
born on January 3, 1973 in Havana, Cuba.
I studied art in a
self-taught way until I studied Fine Arts at the Superior Art
Institute of Havana (ISA) from 1993 to 1998. I practiced for ten
years as an artist and art curator / specialist, mainly in
Contemporary Art Centers.
I always leaned towards a feminine poetics
as a form of self-knowledge and knowledge of the world, I was
initially interested in naive and naturalistic forms and in
a later stage I evolved
towards more abstract forms as a methodology for the evasion of
reality.
Many times they derived my ideas, drawings and installations
in surrealist versions, in re-readings of the everyday from naivety
and dream. I participated in several solo and group exhibitions in
Cuba and in countries such as: Spain, United States, Canada, Brazil,
Germany and Switzerland where I was linked to Havana Galerie in
Zürich.
In 2009 I moved my residence to the Basque Country and my
artistic career slowed down. Study Graphic design at the School of
Design of San Sebastian (CEINPRO) 2012 - 2014, to explore new
creative ways and equip myself with more technological tools and a
much more computerized work process. It is from this moment that
drawing becomes my main way of artistic expression.
Drawing is a
very useful technique and allows me to continue creating without the
technical and economic difficulties that would involve having a study
of larger dimensions, drawing is my emotional escape. About the
drawings: I like to use the computer as a base, I often compose from
a photo or an image and transform them until I get the desired result
and I can transfer it to paper. In the drawing I choose traditional
methods, cleanliness in the composition and centralization of the
image. I like that my works are naturalistic but with naive touches,
like who sees the world for the first time. They tell a surrealist
story, mixing human nature with plant and animal motifs; They are
characters trapped in their stories. My favorite media are:
watercolor pencils, ordinary pencils and watercolor. I also like to
make collages, mixed media and work with inks and acrylics
