Hey there! I'm a visual artist from Bogotá, and right now, I'm definitely lost in some obscure fixation. I use my body and the camera as tools to express ideas and exorcise hidden demons.

Theater-stage still showing a shirtless performer standing center stage in white underwear and white sneakers, with the underwear pulled up over the head and face. Behind the performer, a large projection screen displays an earlier image from the photographic archive and text identifying the week and materials used. Folded pairs of underwear are arranged on the floor to the left, discarded pairs lie to the right, and empty audience seats are visible in the foreground.

A small white frame hangs on a white wall tinted slightly pink from the left. Inside the frame is a vertical self-portrait of a person bending slightly forward toward the camera while wearing a stretched patterned thong-like garment pulled high on the body. Their face is partially obscured by fabric, with a bright red clown nose and clown-style makeup visible. The subject’s mouth is open, and the overall image mixes vulnerability, absurdity, and theatrical self-presentation.

A framed photographic print hanging on a white wall. The image shows a person wearing white underwear pulled upward over their face, partially covering their eyes. Their bare shoulders and chest are visible, with light reflecting on their skin. The photograph has a pale, soft-toned aesthetic and is part of a self-portrait performance series.

A boy stands barefoot on a quiet, overcast beach, wearing light-colored underwear and layered necklaces. The sky is gray, the sand scattered with driftwood, and pastel buildings line the background. The mood is still and introspective, echoing the calm, ambient tone of the song “O Superman” by Laurie Anderson playing in the moment.

A person stands inside a mostly empty train car, smiling while lifting their shirt playfully. The train seats are bright blue, and digital signage is visible above. The atmosphere suggests travel in cool, rainy weather, with a casual and lighthearted moment captured on the way to Cinque Terre in autumn.

A softly lit bathroom with pink and white walls inside an apartment in Milan. Two people are in a white clawfoot bathtub, wearing wet clothing. One person is sitting upright with their arms raised toward the ceiling, while the other reclines lower in the tub. A decorative silver mirror hangs above them, reflecting a chandelier. The overall mood is calm, pastel-toned, and slightly surreal.

#tamagotchi
A close-up of a Chogokin Tamagotchi robot—sleek blue and silver die-cast metal with articulated limbs, its round chest cavity designed to hold a Tamagotchi. The Tamagotchi inside is golden with a small pixel screen, contrasting with the mechanical bulk around it. The same Chogokin Tamagotchi robot, but instead of holding a Tamagotchi, it cradles a small 1990s troll doll with bright neon pink hair and a mischievous smile. The pairing is absurd, nostalgic, and oddly affectionate.

Santiago sits by a bright blue swimming pool, wearing loose blue boardshorts. His hair is wet, water droplets running down his chest, and he’s smiling naturally at the camera. Sunlight reflects off the rippling water, framing him in soft blues and whites. It’s a casual, slightly playful image—equal parts summer nostalgia and quiet flirtation.

#carmensandiego
A photo of the 40th Anniversary Edition of a Carmen Sandiego video game for the PlayStation 5. The game case is deep red with gold accents, featuring an illustration of the modern Carmen Sandiego from the Netflix series. Beside the case stands a small vinyl figure of Carmen herself: red trench coat, wide-brimmed hat, and one hand raised to the brim. She’s posed next to a brown suitcase covered in stickers labeled “Cairo,” “Argentina,” and “Amazon.” The image is brightly lit on a clean white background, evoking both collector’s pride and a strange sense of nostalgia—for a version of Carmen that disappeared quietly years ago.
