My work is essentially a ritual.
I connect man, desire, and magic through imagery, in a celebration of timeless art.
I identify with folk art—working in silence, without haste, without concern for techniques or academic gazes.
Each symbol carries an ancient image we have forgotten.
Learning to see it is the beginning of remembering—becoming aware of who we are.
To sew, paint, assemble, embroider, and draw is to re-signify fragments of the world.
I create through spells, amulets, ex-votos, and objects charged with magic, adding threads, buttons, pins, thorns, feathers,
seeds, mirrors, and every element that nurtures the fetish and the diversity of ideas.
