In my work, I have a marked interest in geometry, design, architectural facades, nature and its impact on our unconscious, I use a mixed technique of watercolors, paper of various thicknesses and colors, with which I build in various dimensions.

 

I am particularly struck by the format of the Le Cahier "Seyes" notebook sheets, invented by Jean-Alexandre Seyes in 1892, which consists of a sheet with perfect 2 mm lines distributed in 8 mm grids. This format is emblematic in French education and differs from the notebooks used in my own education, which have more space between rows. This difference led me to inquire about the connotation and impact of this characteristic that could seem insignificant. I questioned aspects such as the rigidity of education systems, the quality of education and freedom in learning; also reflecting on my own childhood and education. Stepping outside of these boundaries motivated me to think in terms of movement; the "Seyes Movement" is the act of appropriating the notebook sheet and creating with it.

 

Just as the artist Joseph Kosuth in his work "One and Three Chairs" (1965) investigates the relationship between language, image and knowledge, raising questions about how we learn and understand the world. Through my work I seek to explore the limits and structures within which we operate, and how these can be subverted to create new ways of understanding and experiencing reality. It is for this reason that in my work you can find pieces that seek to connect with my inner child. On the one hand, he imagines that intervening in notebook pages is like writing with colors and shapes, and on the other, he seeks to capture "fragments" of the outside, that is, of what my eye and the unconscious see, and then make an abstraction.

 

I believe that, as human beings, from childhood we need a fundamental element: creativity. In notebooks, although we learn and study in them, they also allow us to explore limits and freedom. My work explores the duality between the need to learn to stay within limits and, at the same time, the freedom to step outside of them.
