Sculpture: Her, 2016
Marble
150 x 50 x 28 cm
This sculpture is one of the results of my research which connects the Prehispanic Cultures and the concept of Play and Ritual. The liminal area where limits are blurred and the opposites coexist. Light and Darkness, Female and Male, the Terrenal World and the World Beyond. I seek for this moment of union that could -even- transform my reality...

Statement
The back yard of my house is specialThe back yard of my house is very special
Frogs and giraffes come to say hi
We run races in wooden cars
then we eat some custard pies
The back yard or my house is very special
I enjoy the visits that make it shine...
There are three kinds of human. Homo Sapiens, the human who knows. Homo Faber, the human who creates. Homo Ludens, the human who plays.
Play is a function of the living, it presents to us like an intermezzo, an interlude of our daily life.
Play is a ritual that has a consecrated spot, the playground, the back yard, the magic circle. Inside this playground an absolute and peculiar order reigns. Into an imperfect world and into the confusion of life it brings a temporary, limited perfection
As makers, we have the power to transform material into ideas. Through this process in which we experiment with tension and confusion, we are able to achieve pleasure. We play with the reality mixing experiences from the inner world with the outside world. In this blend is where it lays our inspiration.
Reversal and inversion, exaggeration, paradox, playing with boundaries, playing with infinity, playing with space and playing with time. This is what human does. Humans are artists only when they are at play or perhaps they are ideally humans only when they are at play.
