Work:  

Their aesthetic proposals articulate a deeply personal, coherent, yet complex discourse in terms of interpretations and perspectives. The diverse mechanisms and expressive languages employed—ranging from video, sculpture, photography, and neon to drawing and the multifaceted world of objects—do not deviate from the continuous and consistent thread that unifies most of their work.

Their images often appear as allegories or metonymies exemplifying the solitude of the individual and the vulnerabilities created by their personal positioning. Their artistic practice has led them to question cultural and social realities from a late-Romantic perspective, with a critical and often discomforting gaze. This ongoing exploration of the social imaginary seeks to probe the power of art as a generator of experimental spaces capable of recreating new worlds.
