Sustainable Bio Art

I am an interdisciplinary artist focusing my work in the visual arts with different techniques and materials.The objective of my research and artistic creation aims to optimize natural resources in order to reduce the environmental footprint and damage the ecosystem as little as possible.

I try to develop a range of materials of natural origin, which create a dialogue between Art and Nature from an ecological awareness perspective.

I experiment with materials such as the cultivation of bacterial cellulose, the natural pigments of plants, algae and soil, paint made with moss or seeds, wood rescued from the sea or forests, stones, living plants, etc. It is about building emotional links of communication with Nature.

Some of my works combine common materials with clay, earth and seeds of different species, turning the work into a real seed bomb, which in the right conditions could sprout.

The 'nendo dango' or seed bomb consists of a mass of clay and selected seeds, which are scattered over abandoned or deteriorated lands, slowing down desertification and allowing reforestation and ecological activation.

I am especially interested in promoting the use of sustainable materials, which is why I share in networks the philosophy of “Sustainable Bioart”, and the need to know new forms of artistic expression.

I combine my research work as a plastic artist with the dissemination of Art in various blogs and social networks.

I have participated in individual and collective exhibitions of painting, photography and engraving in galleries of Vitoria-Gasteiz, Donostia-San Sebastián, Santander, Alcalá de Henares, Guadalajara, Badajoz, Cáceres, Burgos, Madrid, Bilbao and Huesca in Spain, as well as in the European Parliament in Brussels, Reggio Calabria in Italy and Shanghai in China.

Currently I experiment with various biomaterials, such as kombucha scoby, seeds, earth, wood, fungi, mosses and natural pigments.
