Latino(a): Usage in the United States: The term "Latino" refers loosely to any person having Latin American background and is often taken to be a synonym with "Hispanic".
Social and political issues related to war, migration and identity have always been the theme of my art. They have resulted in performance art pieces, site specific sculpture/installations involving audience participation and video works in which my own image becomes an identifiable stereotype.

The concepts that I express in my installations and video pieces, also translate into a two-dimensional language in the form of drawings and monotypes where the white paper becomes a virtual space for the image.
