The Frog Housemaid

Concept

"Why this? Why now? Why me?”

These are some of the questions that may arise when viewing my artwork. It offers an intimate visual form of my struggles in my journey of self-discovery.

Through my art, I confront the fears that we, as human beings, often keep quiet about. I draw inspiration from biblical passages and sin, reimagining the lives and deaths of saints and non-saints alike. I intertwine grief and uncertainty, sublimating from lust to catharsis, and immersing myself in classic stories and characters. I also submit to the hard and critical reflection of self-portraiture. Thus, I adapt classic archetypes, genres, and styles to revisit and reinterpret themes that persist and remain contemporary.

I see light as an element that cannot be perceived in the absence of shadow and darkness, just as fear, anger, anxiety, and sadness cannot be understood without a glimmer of hope. I give expression to suffering, emptiness, loss, and abandonment, creating a space filled with loneliness where love, rebirth, and redemption are juxtaposed.

My art portrays the rawest and most authentic emotions of human reality, challenging our prejudices while appealing to our humanity.
