Artistic approach
As we increase our awareness of the Earth's limits, then our relationship with nature changes also. Art that celebrates nature is no longer solely contemplative but is itself moving into the natural world and is created with nature. It's in this sense that my artistic production is affiliated with these practices, from Land Art to various forms of environmental interventions associated with Eco Art.
My practice in environmental art is characterized by its relationship to the information coming from media, TV broadcasts, and newspapers. As well, several of my sculptures and installations are related to the actual site (in situ) and to the sociocultural context of the community where I operate; for example a public park, riverside, wharf, walking trail, or art gallery. I echo the development of the ecological consciousness of our times, and my research tends towards a philosophy of the democratization of art.
My visual language emerges out of the use of common objects, ordinary and trivial, such as plastic water bottles, umbrellas or newspapers. Despite the process of assemblage and accumulation, the artefacts which are incorporated in my art keep their original identity although they also gain a metaphorical force in relation to environmental questions that address the relationship between man and nature. Out of these unexpected connections between recycled material and natural phenomena (water, ice, plants, sun, wind, rain...) emerge meaning that links man, nature and the environment. In conjunction with this combination of “nature/culture”, I add the context of current events, and the specific site, all of which contributes to a poetic statement.
