Summary: 
"Resina, brea y glicerina" (Resin, tar and glycerine), a research linked to landscape with a view to bringing us into contact with ethnic-botany via a plastic language as a natural comprehension concept of our context.
The artist explains how this began with the use of medicinal plants and their immunological systems, "the search begins in conifer forests, using rock resin as the guiding thread throughout the project development. Distillates, tinctures and ointments take on a sculptural format via materials such as glycerine, turpentine, resins or tar. Nomenclatures and agglutinants as the search and formalisation method ".
