"In my reasearch I rely on traditional techniques and practices: drawing, printmaking, weaving, recomposing, overlapping elements...
The figures that I print on textiles make the material fragile and I create vibrations with the threads that sho the inner layers; I use was to freeze different layers, like moments, without losing the depth of the works. there are things that disappear and things that emerge.
It is in whithin this dynamic that I want to place my practice, showing the different stages of the process."
