about me

I am a visual artist whose research-based practice unfolds with a transdisciplinary approach, weaving connections among scientific disciplines, decolonial poetics, and nonhuman cosmologies. I investigate the collective and self-organised behaviour of decentralised living and artificial systems, aiming to inspire more collaborative, sustainable, and ethical relationships between humans, technology and the environment.

My artistic research materialises and is documented through various media, such as video, photography, games, art installations, sculptures alongside my exploration of biomaterials.

The relationship between individual and collective motivations is central to my artistic practice. Through this, I investigate how new meanings, values, and ethics are co-created through participatory and collaborative processes in art. I examine individual identities as historical human social and cultural constructs, encouraging their interrogation and the collective building of new ways of relating to the world. For me, art provides the embodied experience that theory lacks, accounting for the new meanings emerging alongside our technologically mediated society. These transformations involve new forms of ethical relations between individuals and systems, where I aim to shift from historically oppressive models of control to a collective production of power.

I often work in collaboration with a wide spectrum of professionals (e.g., scientists, biologists, architects, space engineers, software programmers, and designers) independently or within institutional frames (e.g., Valencia Polytechnic University/ES; Westfälisches Institut für Bionik, Bocholt/DE; Technical University of Madrid/ES; University of Oviedo/ES; Biomimetic Laboratory/ES; among others). Together with them, we explore systems and ecologies of the world and beyond.

I have been nominated for the Oplineprize International, France (2024); the Bio Art and Design Award, Netherlands (2022); and Young Master Award of the Media Art Friesland, Netherlands (2020-21). In 2022, I received a grant residency from the European Media Art Platform (EMAP/EMARE). Recent exhibitions include In Touch – How to Connect in the Age of Digital Humanity?, IMPAKT, Utrecht, Netherlands, 2024; Living Systems – Concepts of Natural and Artificial Otherness in Collective Habitats, Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb, 2023; 20th Media Art Biennale WRO, Fungible Content, Wroclaw, Poland, 2023; Plug-in Habitat, LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, Gijón, Spain, 2022-23.

I am part of FRIEC collective, a global platform for urban ecological art that nurtures humanity’s cultural relationships with nature; Translocalia, a network of artists, curators, designers, and professionals from different domains that plan for the future through art; Luv ‘til It Hurts, an artist-led project about HIV and stigma; and a member of the board of the Dutch Association of Aesthetics (Nederlands Genootschap voor Esthetica).
