Sculpture
Homage to Luis Buñuel (1900-1983) is my sculptural tribute to the Spanish-Mexican avant-garde surrealist filmmaker. The artwork's imagery is directly inspired by his controversial 1929 short film, Un Chien Andalou, a landmark collaboration with fellow surrealist, Salvador Dali.
Dreams were the very essence of Luis Buñuel's cinema. From his foundational work with Salvador Dalí to his final masterpieces, Buñuel transformed the unconscious into a stage where logic and absurdity collide. Surrealism provided him with a perfect language to expose the hidden desires, anxieties, and hypocrisies—especially those of religion, power, and bourgeois society. For Buñuel, dreams were never an escape; they were a direct confrontation with reality itself.
The Eye of NUT, Goddess of the Sky (2025)
Nut is the ancient Egyptian goddess of the sky. She is known for swallowing the sun god Ra each evening and giving birth to him again each morning, representing the daily cycle of day and night. Nut's body, often covered in stars, represents the sky, cosmos, and universe. She was seen as the protective canopy over the earth.
The materials uses for this mixed media sculpture mostly are the ones I found by the Thames River (London) when I was mudlarking under the moon- fossilized bone fragment, sedimentary rock, a coprulite fossil, plastic eyeball, and beads from my own stash. The experience brought the knowledge on the moon’s magnetic pull who dictates the tides and the opportunities to search the foreshore for fragments of forgotten stories on the shores of the Thames river and the sense of being protected from above in front of the river within a majectic city
