A heartfelt welcome to my virtual nest. 

Identifying and introducing myself has always been quite a challenge on its own; that’s why identity is at the core of my work and a prominent part of my life endeavor.

I strive to build understanding by navigating the different narratives we humans have been creating. In this exciting journey, I have landed in the vast wor(l)ds of Philosophy and Science.

Knowledge and education hold indescribable value for me. The means and mediums to share and connect with others beyond times and spaces, constitute part of my profound and real passions.

Fruit of our sublime nature we have created Art, (or it has created us? to your consideration…), one of the most complex “organisms” that allow us to experience and embody knowledge in ways beyond verbal language. This is why it has become such a driving force in my life since I can recall.

I currently consider it my duty (calling, munus, dahrma, ikigai), to challenge and face notions such as otherness, the creation of identity through the existence of the other; and what I address as Cosmic Alterity, the persistent condition of feeling chronically disconnected from our fellow human beings, other life forms, and ultimately from planet Earth and the Universe.

This is why I create art, pursue philosophical reflection and engage in pedagogy so actively, always endeavoring to bridge different disciplines and creating dialogs to build a more resilient and compassionate world.

Thank you for your curiosity and virtual presence.
