I was inspired by Marina Abramovich in her Performance Art called “Relation in Time.” As a graphic designer, I spent a lot of hours in front of my computer. I still remember my third semester when I had to prescript myself anti-blue light glasses because my eyes were hurting. Then made sense why every student in my class had glasses. The relation between the product I have to summit, and I start with many ideas, then go to that point when I doubt it’s working, but then I’m already frustrated it’s too late. I had to go back to my initial idea many times and really think if it was going to work. By that time, I don’t even how many hours I went through. My creative process and I spend a lot of time together because even when I’m not in front of my computer I’m thinking about graphic design. 

Performance, Pedagogy, and Philosophy

“And so art wasn’t really within my vision as a child: I never quite know what inspired me, other than the moments where I did see and take in art. I don’t know what drove me to identify as an artist because it wasn’t within my familial background—not that I know of anyway—and my only exposure to art”

I have been all about performing since I was 3 years old, I used to get up on a chair and make my own choreographies. The intriguing part is that I don’t remember where I saw that and made me want to dance and choreograph at the age of 3. I guess my family wouldn’t be surprised if instead of dancing I started painting like my dad, which was the only art representation I had growing up. Now that I’m grown, I’m leaning towards painting and graphic arts, I guess it was always in me. What Leonardo said it's so real because artistic humans they just be born with that star of passion and desire to express themselves through art, even if this starts when we already grown.

Being Marina Abramović, Even When No One’s Looking

The first step is to get an idea. Not an easy idea but one that makes me go, “Oh my god. No, no, no, no.” An idea that gets stuck in my stomach. Then, I get obsessed and, finally, I say, “OK, I’m going to do it.” That moment of decision is very important. Then I do it. But a piece always starts with an idea that I don’t like — something I’m afraid of — and going into the unknown.

Just like Maria, my ideas are always hunting me because I feel I stopped myself a lot and it takes me a moment to say Ok, let me challenge myself and see what comes out of this, otherwise I’ll be stuck in here forever and will not have anything to start with. I swear if I could just transfer the way I imagine things from to bring to my illustrator canvas I would.
