The Shadow of an Ecosystem is conceived as a trilogy—Sustainable Terra, Sustainable Waters and Emerged.
From the very beginning, The Shadow of an Ecosystem
seems to resist precise definition, situating itself at the boundaries of
painting, mixed media, collage, and/or sculpture. In any case, it becomes an
invitation to promiscuously spread among its elements.
From an epic narrative germinated in invisible territories,
I explore a psychic ecosystem that would languish unnoticed without an intimate
archaeology; I dig into my own soil to understand and reclaim my inner
landscape. While outwardly we give our lives trying not to lose them, the
territory left to conquer now opens inward; out there, the earth is exhausted,
and we quite literally have too much debris orbiting the planet.
The Shadow of an Ecosystem evokes a hidden
dimension beneath the visible, inviting careful contemplation of our nature and
its relation to life. Within the delicate layering of intricate textures,
meticulously crafted cutouts, and overlapping forms woven into symbolic
abstraction, I engage in a practice that asks us to dwell between life and
decay, the visible and the invisible, uncertainty and certainty. Ultimately, it
offers profound insight into what transpires in the imperceptible—and into the
fragile balance of existence.

Innovation
Even in works that have been digitally manipulated or
post-produced in Photoshop, their initial elaboration passes through the RR-Ink
technique, Retrospective Development, developed by and under the
exclusive proprietorship of the artist. This technique mimics the developer,
stop bath, and fixer of the traditional X-ray development process. Just as
X-rays reveal what cannot be seen with the naked eye, RR-Ink becomes a technological
metaphor for the journey, penetrating the surface to explore unseen depths. The
inquiry extends into historical memory and concludes in the primordial
imaginaries of photography: silver-based prints and early daguerreotypes.
