Alongside my commissioned and institutional work, I maintain an artistic practice focused on building a visual language of my own. This practice grows from my formal background in graphic design and unfolds through drawing, printmaking, and process-based experimentation — exploring questions of identity, perception, and memory in relation to technology and systems of representation. In recent years, this exploration has expanded into generative drawing through algorithmic environments, using systems and rules as a way to think, draw, and construct images.
These two lines of practice remain distinct but gradually intertwine, shaping a body of work that moves naturally between applied projects and open-ended artistic exploration. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Drawing and Contemporary Printmaking at the Complutense University of Madrid, where my research deepens the relationship between generative drawing, graphic systems, algorithmic processes, and material experimentation.

This design paper captures 40 international perspectives at the intersection of art, technology, and innovation.
