“There is no better act of emancipation than self - care. It is necessary to stop thinking about others and individually focus on what is best for our personal well being, taking in consideration the welfare of the community that surrounds us.”




Painting is a mood of relief, the most poetical expression through the process of intuition; a bodily (self) exploration based mainly on the abstraction of the body itself and space.


Drawing and photography are notes that I take from postures, textures, lights, spaces or anything that triggers something inside me.


Garment and body care design / production is about imposing. I use the body and its ways to wear over skin to break boundaries; give a questionable thought to who sees it and a position of self enrichment to who wears it.


Sculptural pieces are rescuers of the physical space. Architectural and housing gestures that celebrate recycling and at the same time refer to deterioration and accumulation. The '' positive and negative '' use of physical and intellectual space.


Art objects are moments which I express instantly with random fleeting feelings, often with remnant materials from other pieces. They're residues of thoughts that feed my production.


Installation is Elsoldelrac's atmosphere. Intervened territory that becomes a new experience / space.


Material exploration is very present in my work and mixing everyday elements to give them a plastic use is a way to elevate the presence of our generally forgotten habitat.
