"Como artista visual y doctor en filosofía, mi trabajo gira constantemente en torno a la línea imaginaria que la cultura occidental ha creado entre arte y filosofía.
Mi praxis habita una zona de encuentros visuales entre dibujos, actos, escritos, pinturas, objetos y pensamiento que me ha llevado a trabajar con y a través de lo invisible, lo menor, lo desaparecido, cartografiando sus formas mediante gestos fuera de una cuadrícula fija. Entre los conceptos que enmarcan mi investigación artística, es posible determinar tres nociones: lo indomiciliado, la ecoicidad y lo inexistente".

"En tant qu'artiste visuel et docteur en philosophie, mon travail tourne constamment autour de la ligne imaginaire que la culture occidentale a créée entre l'art et la philosophie.
Ma praxis s'inscrit dans une zone de rencontres visuelles entre dessins, actes, écrits, peintures, objets et pensées. Parmi les concepts qui encadrent ma recherche artistique, il est possible de déterminer trois notions : le undomicilié, l'écho et l'inexistant."

"As a visual artist and doctor of philosophy, my work constantly revolves around the imaginary line that Western culture has created between art and philosophy.
My praxis inhabits a zone of visual encounters between drawings, acts, writings, paintings, objects, and thinking. Among the concepts framing my artistic research, it is possible to determine three notions: the un-domiciled, the echoicity, and the inexistent."
