Summary

I am a seriously committed art professional and Ph. D. student with a strong capacity to be constantly up to date on different cultural realities.

Briefly, my personal approach to art is transdisciplinary.
I strongly believe that it is in the connexion and fluent exchange of information and methods among the different fields of knowledge that it is possible to move further.
That is why I consider interaction, workgroups and networks of capital importance in the development of a professional career’s potential.
Throughout the last years, I have combined my academic labor with an active involvement in numerous artists’ workshops and team projects, which have provided me with valuable conceptual resources and also with an independent and direct sense of the art practice from a wide range of perspectives: as an artist, producing and defending my work in various public exhibitions; demonstrating a critical vision when participating in academic projects of research, or as the founder of the artist collective sécolectivoforzoso and the contemporary art digital platform nowwwh, which I currently co-edit.
