I am a visual artist based in Valencia, Spain. My work moves around photography, though the technique shifts with whatever a project asks for. I often work with archive or found material, staged scenes and AI-generated images. My recurring subjects are memory, territory and how we relate to the land around us.
Since the 2024 floods in Valencia, I have been part of one of the community labs of Salvem les Fotos, an initiative recovering damaged family photo albums for over a thousand households. That work led to the photobook and exhibition L'Empremta de l'Aigua. My first solo show, Where the Acanthus Grow, followed after I won the portfolio review at Festival Ojos Rojos.
