#1 PIINE APIIE_S (OpenSea - NFT)
By following the theme "Pineapple" of the curated exhibition by ASBP, this artwork uses symbolism of connectivity of the web. The pineapple originally carrying symbolism of new creative language, was once an idealistic idea and is now shattered and deconstructed. The artwork thus reflects the current battle of protection of democracy.
Exhibited on OpenSea as an NFT, 2021
Natural // Unnatural
In a digitized world where nature and humanity yearn for love, what happens to our inner selves? This exhibition explores the struggle of reconnecting with our natural essence and finding inner balance in a time when nature reclaims its authority. It delves into the disconnection fostered by modern society, distancing us from each other and from the very source of our existence: nature.

Shapes of Abstract Movements
These artworks discover the relation between rapid hand gestures made with acrylic and its transformation into another material, from a static canvas to moving textiles, shaped by the uncontrolled exterior. When color hits the surface of another fiber, the complete original source has changed its whole atmosphere of being.
Exhibited at A Seis Manos, Bogotá, Colombia 2017
