Without limits (Ancestors 2024 - 03/2024)

Flying over those beautiful landscapes, I left my heavy shoes, those that conditioned me. Searching in my inner panorama, I found many Lauras from my history.

There was the one who wanted to express her pleasure in swimming, portraying fish, and the one who loves the bottom of the sea and its creatures and captured that. Also the one who came to the surface, and showed her family and herself, in her childhood, on the shores of seas and rivers.

And so, I found other images and ways to say what I want, without limits.

And I flew (NAT Art Residence - 10/2023)

Slowly, very slowly, I left the weight of the lead shoes behind. Those that held me to the earth.

I blew away those obstacles that prevented me from taking flight, and I flew. Higher than the clouds there and here, even if the sun made me squint... What does it matter?

I felt ethereal, weightless, light like the air that surrounded me and I saw everything so small down there, despite the thick clouds, and the rough sea breaking against the sand so beautiful.

Those sounds that I love.

The wonderful cliff.

I flew everywhere, to all my times.

It was beautiful and so liberating!

Being me is a liberation (Ancestors 2023 - 3/2023)

Being me, independent, producer, doing my work, intuitive, with my image, with my desires to say out loud, without allowing someone else to tell me what or how to do to "sell" or "be more famous", with my tastes and desire, it was always my path. Maybe it closed doors for me, or not, but it supported me and continues to support me.

Today, through a piece of work, a talk, I become aware of that position that I have maintained throughout my path as an artist, as a maker of art, of images, with different materialities, and I feel that way. I really feel that being me is a liberation.

A liberation from fashions, external and internal impositions, the “this is how it is done”, except from those where it is done this way will benefit my work technically and will not make the process fail.

Yes, being me is a liberation!

Sediment (Ancestors II - 03/2022)

Swim, step, explore.

Sediments of life, bed of running water.

Water that runs through my veins, dragging the sediments of life, since time immemorial, emerging those ancestors that live in the waters and inside me.
