I have never studied architecture, but this is a very common question whenever I show my work. Indeed, the investigation about urban environment is very recurrent in my production. I like to observe how architecture and urban planning can affect people´s lives and behaviors. I am interested about the cities´ growth, the changes in the landscape, cultural identity and the late signs of colonization in a globalized world. I realized that each city has a direct influence on my creative process, so understanding how the environment leads me to work in a specific manner is a fundamental part of my research in a broader way. From those interests, photography emerged as a natural means. A medium that allows me to catalog, compare, reorganize, interfere, cut and paste the everyday life and, by so, expanding the perception. I like also to work with artist´s books, collage and video. Perhaps because of the direct relation with perception, color is another strong axis in my production, appearing in different series either as a theme itself or as a way to create connections and narratives within the subject. My approach to photography is very different according to each project. I sometimes manipulate pictures, sometimes I use it in a very straight way. I am interested in playing with perception, so tensioning the medium to its limits is something I am always looking forward to achieving as well.
