Artist Life

It's the life I invent which calls me to open up paths, creating meaningful concepts and attitudes. I seek to involve myself with the reality I am capable of producing. Life is a work of art in itself, designed through the agency of desires to expand one's own autonomous limits. This notion is not concrete, it is not absolute, it does not end in the life of an artist, because it relates to the idea of living with original fluidity, beauty and integrity.

I let curiosity lead the movement into the labyrinth of desire, sniffing out answers to the questions I ask myself. I venture along the path, where discoveries reveal new openings and other desires.

I locate pleasure, the opposite of trauma, as a central aspect of the aesthetics of living, which is why I symbolically subvert impositions of moral-religious obedience. I decondition interdicts, contrast and provoke to assert myself at difference. I make up my life with symbols of utopias, everyday rebellions, idealisms, weirdness, paradoxes and complexities. Models, fixed identities and their derivative normoses are the antithesis of the artist's life, morbid social symptoms of apathy, for simple reasons: they keep things rigid, they are fearful of change and act to block and close off creative impulses.

​

Artistic life brings in itself ideas of freedom, it includes difference and diversity as aesthetics, with its powers and possibilities. It is political in conception, because the action of forging it takes into account the defense of ethics, beyond repressive and conservative morality. Those who live an artist's life are guided by integrity, dignity and a capacity for critical thinking. They are nomadic, because they converse with their time, test and exhaust figurative representations. One is constantly looking for instruments and gestures to escape from the emotional and social devices of discipline and control.
