I use paper like a computer or a pencil and feel that the result expresses much more than those elements. In Cities series, I try to represent the imprint of cities through a geometric representation, with some reference to cartography, that seeks to express the general perception of a city, its smells, sounds, colours and culture. In Open Library series, the idea is to view books from another perspective. I use books that have already been used and that it use and time has altered their form leaving them worn out and unarmed . I assume the new physical form, extricating it, exposing it, as well as its content, that I organize looking to give new meaning to words in those pages that will be open and visible constantly. Many of my works includes words but I feel now I can use words in a poetic expression and leave narration to the image, I think I’m telling a story many times with a little pieces of papers. Sustainability is an important issue for me. So I decided to work with reused papers like an ethical and even philosophical position: I want to demonstrate that we can find beauty everywhere, we can create with anything, that’s art, that’s it’s magic. So I reuse papers that come from various objects usually discarded it adds an invaluable plus to my own vision of art. They are papers with memory, they come to tell a new story. I organize them, but they speak for themselves”
