My practice as a visual artist is focused on creating symbolic bridges between individuals and / or communities; that have different cultures and geographic spaces. My work has transversal axes as: marginality, exclusion and invisibility. These are related to deep issues such as: migration, racism and particularly the historical memory associated with the internal armed conflict in Peru (1980 - 2000), which I have been developing for two years, creating a Memory Space with a specific community.
Formally, my work is in macro or micro scale; and for specific sites. My practice can be individual as well as collective. I believe in co-creation processes, as an individual, I am part of the collective artist group FIBRA and as part of the community, we made a Memory Space with the people of Hualla in Ayacucho, Peru; and with nature, a bio materials project.

Memory space Chimpapampa is a symbolic reparation in the former military base of Chimpapampa, Ayacucho, Peru. This region region represents 40% of the dead and missing people of the period of violence in Peru (1980-2000).
This space is in honour of the period of internal political violence (1980-2000). This was developed in consensus and co-creation with the Association of Victims of Conflict of the Hualla community.
As a methodology, tools and strategies of the visual and plastic arts were used to design and build the space. This process involved periodic meetings with the Association of Victims of Hualla
