​

I was born in Barcelona, ​​on September 27, 1968.
​I am a multidisciplinary artist, feminist and activist, concerned about the voice of women, social injustices and the politics of power, which affects the bodies and the land in which we live.
Painting, sculpture, installation, poetry, have been my way of coming to representation. My work serves to create spaces for communication with the viewer and question their own existence. I create spaces that help generate awakenings.
Red is a symbol in my work since my beginnings. Thread of life and death, as a meaning that captures at the same time the power and fragility of human flesh.
My work is a constant search for truth, the truth that harbors every human being, and I came to performance as an evolution of my artistic work, as a language that allows me to express what I need. But in my performances I include painting, to which I dedicated myself for 20 years, also installation and poetry. I think that acting is a language that adds to the previous ones.It uses the body as memory, material on which it is printed and as a tool to weave against aggression, new ways of being, new forms of socialization. 
My performances often generate a final work or a live installation, as was the case of Red Line (Série II) that remained in the center of the city of Barcelona as an ephemeral installation for more than 24 hours, and where people participated, even without knowing that a performance had taken place there. My performances are many times in the street, without prior notice, in art centers and alternative spaces.
My actions are a political practice and a practice of life, a practice of resistance against the politics of power, are acts of political resistance of my feminine being.
I believe that art must be a political space, not for one to be represented, but where one comes into play and puts into play, what there is.
​

Nací en Barcelona, el 27 de septiembre de 1968. Soy una artista multidisciplinar preocupada por la voz de las mujeres, las injusticias sociales y la política del poder que afecta a los cuerpos y a la tierra en la que vivimos. Cuerpos alienados y separados de sí.
La performance y la poesía me sirven para crear espacios de relación y de interrogación sobre la propia existencia, espacios que ayuden a generar despertares.
El rojo es un símbolo en mi trabajo artístico, desde las primeras pinturas hasta la performance. Hilo de vida y de muerte, también herida que capta a la vez la potencia y fragilidad de la carne humana. Mi vida ha estado atravesada por la violencia masculina vestida de diferentes formas.  Utilizo el cuerpo como memoria, como material sobre el que se imprime, como sujeto y objeto, y como herramienta para poder tejer delante de la “agresión”, nuevos sociales. Desde el año 2009 realizo performance en espacios públicos, Centros de Arte y espacios alternativos. Obtuve una residencia artística en el Centro de Artes Escénicas Can Felipa, con la performance Aparadores y realidades escondidas 2014 Barcelona, llevada al Caixa Fórum de Barcelona, Centro de Arte Can Felipa, Sala Margarida Xirgu. Realizo acciones reivindicativas, como protesta contra la violencia de las mujeres, Ellas+Estan+Presentes (6º Encuentro de Escritores por Ciudad Juárez, Centro de Creación LaContra, Barcelona), Série Línia roja Día Internacional contra la violencia de género (2016). 
Soy coordinadora de Corpologia, grupo de artistas de arte de acción en el que participa como artista, y editora de la Revista Corpologia>25.
