My artwork departs from questioning the “subject matter” in contemporary art by experimenting with classical art media and its relationship to digital work. Having received a strong education in classical drawing and painting, I merge this knowledge to a digital context, inviting the viewer to reflect and think on what is understood as “real” in the world of contemporary visual arts.

I take as a theoretical and conceptual reference Walter Benjamin’s ideas about the impossibility of thinking of art, in the modern-aesthetic terms society was thinking about, before the irruption of new technological mediums of production (notions of authenticity, novelty, hand-made and authorship). Another important conceptual referent is Jean Baudrillard and his idea of simulacrum and evident artifice in art.
