The construction of Therapeutic Spaces has been the focus of my work in recent years. The Therapeutic Bedrooms are the result of an insistence on the bed, the articulation of the bedroom taking into account the combination of door-window-bed-color elements. With Personalized Therapeutic Products I transform the space into a product that I can model to my liking. I like to personalize these rooms taking into account the user, their needs and their desires.
My work must be seen as an interest and a need to locate essences and instincts in the human being. I handle elements such as love, fantasy, pleasure, pain, beauty, sex, madness. I design machines that help me locate these elements: Centrifuge of Love, Centrifuge of Fantasies, Love in the Clouds. Once located, these items are ready to be transplanted: I already have Love Transplants, Fantasy Transplants, Beauty Transplants, Extra Sex Beauty Transplants, Meat Model Beauty Transplants.
The Transplant action that I have just started leads me to a very personal investigation, because now everything that I have transplanted is part of me.

A Beauty Transplant that I wear to seduce the viewer with my yellow madness. I am an octospider that communicates in yellow madness, suicidal flesh color, sad flesh, natural flesh, living flesh.
My first black piece. Black is the only color I don’t wear, I don’t have anything black, no clothes, no furniture, no accessories, the only thing black I have is my cat Grila.
Sometimes an inexplicable Deep Sadness invades me, I don’t really know where it comes from, what I do know is that it is unbearable. The Deep Sadness piece tries to embody that feeling, connected to the Suicide Transplants..
