About Me.

I am an experimental artist researcher whose work explores the relationship between perception, space, and technology. My practice sits between installation, moving image, and research, and investigates how environments and aesthetic experiences shape how we feel and inhabit the world.

My background in architecture, interaction design, and neuroaesthetics has led me to develop projects that translate spatial and sensory ideas into immersive and experiential artworks. My previous work includes Ańima, a solo installation exploring AI-driven animated architecture and emotional atmospheres, as well as collaborative interactive installations developed at IAAC Barcelona and the Architectural Association Visiting School. These projects established my interest in the intersection of spatial design, technology, and experiential storytelling.

More recently, my practice has expanded toward research-driven artistic inquiry. During the Ars Electronica Summer Lab residency, I worked within an interdisciplinary team exploring how EEG signals can be connected to artistic systems and environmental triggers. This experience introduced me to new possibilities for linking cognitive processes, sensory environments, and artistic creation.

Alongside my artistic practice, my MSc in Psychology of Arts, Neuroaesthetics and Creativity at Goldsmiths culminated in an award-winning research paper exploring perception and audience interpretation in art. This research deepened my interest in how artistic practice can intersect with scientific inquiry.

Research and Academic work

Master’s Thesis, Goldsmiths, University of London "Is the Message of Art Bigger Than the Tools of the Artist?"

https://doi.org/10.1145/3749893.3749899

Won the Best Paper Award - Art Research Track at the Expanded Animation Conference 2025, Ars Electronica, Linz.

Explored biases against AI art vs. hand-drawn digital art, focusing on creativity, intentionality, and authenticity perceptions. Findings suggest that art appreciation is influenced more by personal preference than the tools used.
