Flowers & Gardens

Urban Interventions

By intervening spaces in the city, through the interpretation of nature, such as the flowers and fruits in the installations: Rosa-Jardin and Coco-Palma, I pretend to create urban landscapes where a friction is created between what’s “fake”, what’s simulated and what’s natural, as a metaphor of the tense situations between the urban scenario and nature within contemporaneity.

Nevertheless, I am projecting the importance of plants and flowers which still prevail in our cities, and which, to my opinion, deserve the care and protection necessary in an industrial and technological world.  And, why not?  They are also the visual poetry between cement and asphalt.

With the intervention of urban spaces, through the creation of another type of “flowers” or “plants”, I propitiate a paradox that leads us to think about the real and about the simulated, apparent and fictitious nature.

I pretend to attract the attention of the spectator and create a different level of consciousness of the environment. 

Furthermore, I mean to make possible for the spectator, the enjoyment of the visual contrasts between what’s artistic and what’s natural, between the work that has been “created” and the other, the one resulting from the combustion of natural elements.

I use the materials giving them properties that exceed their intrinsic qualities; I emphasize its rude industrial power, trying to underline the predominance of what’s industrial in a society that values the consumption, the artificial, the apparent, the false, the fake, the imitations.
