Poetry, philosophy, psychology, somatic, dance, ecology, and spirituality … are some of the themes that underpin her artistic practice.

Currently she is in training in “Body, Science and Arts-based Research” at the Tae School from Barcelona.

“Holding a camera in front of your face or on your chest, framing, pressing the shutter release, are ways of encountering oneself and the world.” Serge Tisseron. “The mystery of the lucid camera”, photography and the unconscious.

This encounter that Tisseron speaks of is what I seek to achieve in my photographic practice. An encounter that starts from a contemplative attitude of the world around me, more specifically of the ordinary, everyday world, cultivating a state of dazzlement before the objects, spaces and scenes that are presented, thus opening the way to wonder, to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Vegetable motifs, flowers, plants, trees, become the main theme of my work in recent years and walking through parks, gardens and natural environments the means for all this to happen. Walking as an aesthetic experience and construction of the landscape understood as something that is created and recreated from the subjective experience… where I look, what I pay attention to, what moves me and moves me at the moment of framing and pressing the shutter, and how all these elements are organized to form an integrated whole fruit of that relationship of intimacy with the observed. This encounter is reencountered in the developing process, where the images obtained become sketches on which I work, thus beginning an analogous process of search and encounter with the final image through the reinterpretation of the original scenes. Thus revealing the multiple realities that can unfold from a walk in the park.
