I was born in Caracas, when my country was another one. My father was a painter and my mother a choreographer. I spent part of my childhood in Paris, missing the city of the green mountain: el Ávila and the smells and sounds of my gran parents farm in the Venezuelan countryside. The trips to the dessert in Falcon where my mum dis her video arte pieces, pioneer at the time, in the 80s, and then the Amazon, the Andes and the Plains made out an extraordinary normality while growing up, until I moved to New York at the beginning of the millennium. I studied Conservation Biology there, and simultaneously my photography, that had always been there, grew in strength. Contemporary dance, that I had practice since an early age, the body and self-portrait got mixed into the work.
My thirties took me by surprise in London; I did my MA here at the Chelsea College, I had my son here where I live with my partner and it is now my home. Lucky to have the option to stay, but sad for not having the option to return.
In the last years my practice has become pluralized in term of mediums, the image always present trough photography and video and around 10 years ago sculpture came into play trough ceramics. With my recurrent themes of nature and woman, I investigate stories on gender inequality and more recently I dig into social and politics to respond to the acute Venezuelan crisis. This geographical and historical mix makes the work non-temporal. It responds to issues of the present by looking into the past, and it manifest itself in ancestral mediums such as moulding clay and some more recent ones such as last century firsts photographic techniques.
