About me

I am a handmade collage artist from a small coastal town in southern Spain. I moved to the United States in 2012 searching for an adventure. As a person who grew up with dual citizenship but had never lived in the United States as an adult, I felt compelled to experience the other half of my identity. First I lived in New Mexico, then Colorado, and now St. Louis has been my home for the last 7 years. Collage became a part of my life in the winter of 2019 and became an obsession shortly after. My collages are cut by hand from magazines and other discarded materials. In my work, I often explore the concepts of separation, geographical distance, self-exploration, the relationship between people and their natural environments, and the absurd.

My interest in collage began as an urge to reuse beautiful images and create a new narrative. The infinite possibilities of collage, as well as the inherent limitations of the medium are thrilling. The process of creating a collage can takes weeks from conception, to searching for images, cutting, placing, thinking, reorganizing, and finally gluing. Recently I started incorporating my own photographs into collages.
