Marina Abramovic "Retrospective" Exhibition - Kunsthaus Zürich. 2024 - 2025
Performer Artist at the Exhibition of Marina Abramovic "Retrospective" Kunsthaus Zürich. 2024 -2025
Engaging with the work of Marina Abramović as a Performance Artist at Kunsthaus Zürich, allowed me to cross a threshold of questions that transcend what art is as a deeply personal experience. In this process of reinterpretation, her work ceased to be hers and became mine. Being naked, physically immobile, mentally alert, and emotionally exposed has become a very personal practice of deep meditation, a form of mindfulness in which I have rediscovered myself.
Full presence becomes subversive, challenging the alienation that separates us from ourselves and others. Living each moment fully is an act of vital resistance that has invited me to question the assumptions of productivity, utility, and consumption as the guiding values of our existence. In this state of absolute vulnerability, breathing becomes the anchor that connects me to the present (here and now), to the audience, to time and space itself. Such silence is not passive; it is a way of reclaiming my being of the commodification of time and the body.
Art then becomes a path of self-knowledge and healing; a deep exploration of my own inner technology. The exhibition is the stage on which my being is presented not only to others but above all to myself. Vulnerability is revealed to me as a place of strength and empowerment, where I can explore the future paths of art not only as a creative practice but as a vital practice, as a philosophy and vehicle of life, as a more conscious and meaningful way of being in the world.
The Black wall and collective Resistance - 2024
Collaboration with the Indian artist Ishita Chakraborty. Installation ''Exotic Plants in the Garden- What to Do? Kunsthaus Zürich. Apropos Hodler. 2024
Exotic Plants in The Garden- What to Do? an installation of the Indian artist
Ishita Chakraborty, contains a large black handpainted wall. She invites new people whenever I paint the mural in a new exhibition space. It is a conscious decision to collaborate with people for whom painting a white wall black is also a meaningful act! At Kunsthaus Zürich's exhibition, she invited two Colombian artists and musicians to participate. Jehisson Santacruz, a transdisciplinary artist and musician from Colombia, and Jhoseth Silva, a visual artist from Colombia based in Switzerland.
We proposed the idea of their intervention to start to paint this black wall with a performance, which we integrated later as a ritual. We introduced Ishita Chakraborty to cumbia music, and the origins of cumbia music traced back to the slave trade in Colombia. The performance started with Jehisson playing the Colombian Gaita, and then the three of us began to draw landscapes, people, animals, plants, and poetry on the wall. It starts with definite and visible strokes, symbolizing the stories that still resonate in the collective memory. However, as we advance on the canvas, the saturation increases, the blending with hands leading to an intense darkness. It's an act to tell that our histories are not erased; they still exist under the surface. The blackness speaks to you if you want to hear it!
For Jehisson and Jhoseth, painting this wall, in their words, was a healing process. For Ishita Chakraborty too! It created a new avenue for new understanding, empathy, and collective resistance! I am very thankful for such an experience!

Heart Beats - Swiss Tour 2022 - 2025 - Artwork: 4 Meditaciones Metafísicas.
The world finds itself, for the first time, in an unprecedented global crisis that requires solidarity and a complete change of perspective to move forward sustainably with all life. In the mythical ancient reality, Atlas leads the world, and today (in the midst of the COVID 19 pandemic) these titans saved locked-up humanity from boredom, showing for the first time in the history of the modern world, the art of community as vital to overcome personal and humanitarian crises. The new viruses appear frozen in time and the anachronism of this story requires all creativity, solidarity and global solutions.
The current growing social inequality is not sustainable in the short or medium term. The utility of the industry must transform its production model if it does not want to disappear. Human nature will have to listen more attentively to the rhythm of nature by adopting eco-efficient ways of life.
The world needs all the love and creative abilities of humanity. Today, discovery is no longer about lands to promote tourism, but about interior territories that invite the cultivation of the self and the power of collective thought. This anthropotechnical turn implies the discovery of the other in its otherness, freedom, creativity and the invaluable value of diversity. Each of us carries the world on our shoulders, and it is the responsibility of each of us to help transforming the world

Círculo de palabra y memoria - 2023
La Soledad de 100 años de conflicto armado en Colombia. Art object Installation.
This pictorial series “The Loneliness of 100 Years of Armed Conflict in Colombia” is a path to construct critical discourses against impunity and generate awareness about oppression, injustice, domination, and self-management of people who borrowed ways of Thinking, Being, and Doing, which took me through the territory and its geographies.
Within this pictorial series, contemplation revolves around themes of peace, change, and social organization. These themes are central to the author's arguments about social technologies presented in his second book, "The Art of Community Pedagogies: Emancipation and Resilience of Peoples: An Approach to Indigenous Futurism," developed as part of his Master's thesis at ZHDK in 2023.
