I like to create stories that are visual narratives in the form of patterns or illustrations. Sometimes they might be textures or abstract images, or the result of a recollection from the past, but there`s always a story behind it. It doesn`t means that the stories I imagine are only mine and people should accept it. What I want is to provide a trigger for their own imagination, for everyone to follow my visual hints according to their own experiences, recreate the story and carry it, as an image and textile object, everywhere they go.

My inspiration comes from sensing the environment and the people around me, and the real or imagined stories that can be imagined by the interaction between them. But I don`t like to represent things the way they are, like a dog resembling a dog. In general, i represent the characters and situations in my stories like metaphors of living things and natural phenomena, like insects, birds and plants,or the wind, shadow or rain. I like the naive, primitive and sometimes strange stories and situations that our imagination can create. The less obvious the more interesting it is. This is what I call my Visual Chronicles.

To do this, I developed a method of creation based on Structuralist and Semiotics concepts that are used as starting points for manipulating and playing with concepts and images as symbols, as well as the mind structures that rhetorically organize relations of, for example, analogy, similarity and contiguity between ideas and arguments. Inside my method, I created some tools to collect images in magazines, internet, flyers, etc and organize them in the creative structures of my method, so that I can keep an eye on what`s happening around our cultural world while autonomously developing my own poetic narratives. For example, by continuously discovering new Repertories and exploring new forms of representing images, narratives, compositions and atmospheres that result from the relation between the printed pattern and the space.

After developing the initial sketches and the motif, supported by the semiotic approach, I consider structures in languages and patterns to develop narratives and compositions, together with its blocks and plots. Then, after the pattern is developed and printed, patterns become both an image and an object that inspire us in affective different ways.

To me, patterns are carriers of dreams, sometimes portable jokes and visual chronicles that capture life moments. It`s visuality but also concept, especially like a criticism that is mixed with a poetic interpretation of personal moments that I want to share. I will be happy if, by using my patterns, people can get connected with each other, making them to like, enjoy and feel special with themselves in different moments in life. I want to create patterns that are symbolic, strange, humorous and original, to make people to enjoy life while making them reflect about the ideas and social criticisms behind it.
