Hay algo que no se olvida ni se recuerda : arte e política

This work is composed of two parts: Part I and Part II. In Part I, it is proposed to recognize, firstly, those human internal aspects that remain latent, that are not valued collectively and are hardly perceived individually, and their involvement in art and politics. It is about emotions, specially negative ones, such as sadness, anguish, frustration, aggres¬sion, fear, anger ... which are rejected and hidden through institutional structures such as law, health, education, advertising, etc. and build a system that keeps us in a state of apparent ‘well-being’.

We will conclude with the assessment of the role of art in this political renewal, as a funda¬mental means of recognition of emotions and their transformation through artistic creation which, therefore, plays a crucial role in questioning structures and building a new society, more respectful with our essence and real needs. Part II includes the results of my artistic project that focuses on shaping my own emotions, my inner world, the internal vicissitudes that can not find words to be transmitted. It is, the¬refore, the personal approach to my emotional needs, memories, desires and impressions. Through my artistic practice I transform, in my own instinctive language, the internal and external reality, seeking answers to questions raised from the experience of growth, life and existence in the worl
