This performance is based on a true personal story, that developed within the context of marriage. I did not know the word A-Test, knowing it was bitter. I start with the bride, as an archetype that is still valid, with all its social weight, its brightness and its glamor. I come to the reality of …
For 8 hours I’m drawing with graphite on white DIN A3 paper, I’m wearing a horrendous mask, which separates me from the others. These are intimate hours of my desolation, the vortex of my emotional life, an existential bewilderment. I’m in the showcase of the gallery, marking the seconds… everything is far from me. The …
It is a concrete limit, which is transgressed or not, which is feared or ignored. I want to touch the subconscious of the spectators with a controversial image … (Images are the language of the unconscious). A black cloth lies on the floor of the room, it is a line of 7 m length and …
The series Triduum Sacrum is composed of the installation Sacra Fames (sacred hunger), the installation Sacra sitis (sacred thirst) and the performance Sacer Dolor (scared pain). The central idea of this visual work are existential experiences of human being: thirst, hunger, pain. Three experiences, which for me are valid as sacred. Weeks before, the people …

I’m hiding part of my face behind a black cloth, spread from side to side between two opposite walls of the gallery, right next to the large window that overlooks the street. Passersby stop… I’m sitting in a black chair, in front of me a black table containing lipsticks and paper. I draw using my …
See the invisible, don’t see the visible. Denying the body to the spectators, denying the corporeal, separating from the sensual, remaining in a kind of cloister, existing only from the hands, which draw blindly with white chalk on white paper… an irreverence? To separate radically from the public in an ascetic and radical staging in …
We destroy what we need, what we love. Pesticides are a “global threat to Human Rights” responsible for the death of 200,000 people each year. Says a report presented to the Human Rights Council of the United Nations by Hilal Elver, special rapporteur on the Right to Food. I’m tearing petals of red roses from …
Dressed in a black Nikab, I go out into the center of the gallery, I am the foreign, the strange, the unknown … Nobody can see my face. I throw big nails to the ground that make a thunderous noise, I choose some nails. I hide behind a white canvas. I draw tearing the 1,000 …
I was drawing a line for 24 hours, just a horizontal line, minute by minute. Seconds of silence… Only one line, which seeks to reveal the steep horizon of the refugees. Moments of introspection. A line that in its radical reduction is confronted with the extreme destiny of millions of people who emigrate in the …
