Austrian/Spanish freelance artist and cultural worker, was born 1985, works transdisciplinary and lives in Vienna and Burgenland. Her expression embraces from drawing, painting, sound installations, and participatory formats. She explores social exclusion, memory, and identity through personal and collective narratives. Drawing from her biographical context, she reflects on language, migration, media, gender diversity, and labor in the tension between rural and urban environments. She is part of the collective CRAFT, and member of VBKÖ, and her work has been presented in art spaces and public venues both nationally and internationally.
Artist Statement
At the core of my artistic practice lies the field of tension between power relations and implicit social as well as linguistic marginalizations—intertwined with a critical reflection on my own entanglement within these structures. As an archaeologist of my biography, I unearth traces of past events to reveal their impact on the present, paying particular attention to the social negotiation of the periphery–center relationship. I engage with both tangible and invisible structures that shape bodies, behavior, identity, and community. Language emerges here as a site of contradictory forces: it can be emptied of meaning to resist authority, or unfold as a subversive tool. The body likewise appears mechanized, ritualized, or reclaimed as a site of resistance.
Previous works also have addressed gender diversity, gender identity, and sexuality, as well as the exclusion of social groups through media and language. Across these different approaches, the works suggest that while systems may shape identity and behavior, they remain susceptible to disruption and open to reinvention. The aim of my artistic practice is therefore to expose interdependencies and social relations and to situate them within new, multilayered constellations.
