If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Film, Installation, Painting, Video

I am...: an Anglo-Mexican Artist based in Nottingham. I have been exhibiting painting, film and sound/music both nationally and internationally since 2000.

I am frustrated musician.

About my artwork: I am very conscious of the difference between rational thought, chance and the exercise of instinct or intuition within the creative process of painting, and have sought ways in which all three can be employed together in forming images.

The work explores the material identity and language of abstract painting, questioning its histories and boundaries, much like the work of contemporary painters, Fabian Marcaccio, Beatriz Milhaze and Jonathan Lasker. My recent paintings explore how meaning can be impregnated in the way paint is applied, aiming to create subtle narratives for the viewer to decipher.

Artists I like: Marcel Duchamp, Fabian Marcaccio, James Turrell, Brian Eno, James Whitney, Bryan Wynter, Henri Michaux.

Interests: Air Guitar, Painting (obviously), Bird Watching, Reading, most things really.

Don't forget the meeting with Stone Soup on Tuesday 6pm about how they're going to evict us.
Join the campaign - fight for your studio - tell the world how the Stone Soup so called "Community Interest Company" want to destroy our community!
Check out the SOS page here on ArtReview.
Cheers, Mik
