Lorena Ruiz Pellicero (1991) Visual Artist
[EN]
My name is Lorena Ruiz Pellicero, and I have a fear of going blind. This fear drives me to observe everything closely and to engage with the world through visual experience. Using irony, absurdity, and poetic expression, I aim to blur the boundaries between reality and fiction, as well as between the physical and the virtual. My work explores how images influence our perception and shape the way we look at the world around us.
[ES]
Me llamo Lorena Ruiz Pellicero y tengo miedo de quedarme ciega. Por eso intento observarlo todo y trabajar con y desde la visión. A través de la ironía, el absurdo y lo poético, busco desdibujar los límites entre la realidad y la ficción, lo físico y lo virtual, explorando cómo las imágenes influyen en nuestra percepción y la manera en que miramos el mundo que nos rodea.
