I make visually loud expressions that all take part of an artistic-political strategy of questioning supremacy, redefining western norms of aesthetics and claiming space while re-appropriating one’s culture. 

As a queer latino in Sweden I’ve always hidden parts of myself just to be able to be accepted, forced to strategize my personality for others comfort. Hiding and adjusting my identities, the same ones the society have given me and told me to be ashamed of The Latin ,The Queer and The Feminine. I’ve come to realize that they are of the utter most importance for me to express, not only for myself but most of all for the sake of partaking in creating a history that does not hide or deem these aesthetics or people as something less. 

By combining materials, colors and compositions I want to create monumental pieces that change our perception of our preconceived way of viewing aesthetics and identities. 

Through theory and pop culture references I want the viewer to be forced to notice these aesthetics and question the roots of their personal taste and how they might stem from a history written by a white heteronormative society who’s intention was to exclude and erase minorities and perspectives that where deemed as too different or too norm breaking.

I want to criticize the existing preconceptions of beauty and taste. I also want to criticize having to grow up with a lack of diversity of expressions and social conduct all while western ideals are depreciating immigrant or feminine tastes. It’s important for me to counteract this silencing by working big and bold and by creating works that present what has been seen as lower as something proud and powerful.
