Overwhelming and magical. It felt like the most meaningful thing I have ever done in my career, as if I connected with something inside myself that goes beyond the physical world—a sense of purpose? I can’t wait to keep translating my art through different media.

It wasn’t intentional at all. I was actually a bit cautious because I didn’t want it to be seen as a costume party or overly dark. But if you look at the deeper meaning of Halloween and, for example, El Día de los Muertos—which is also on the 31st—then it’s a beautiful coincidence. The exhibition explores grief, so the timing feels unexpectedly fitting.

No, I started with fashion school. I thought I wanted to become a designer, but during my studies, I realized I was more interested in the visual language of fashion, especially moving visual language. That’s how my journey to becoming a filmmaker began. I bought a camera and just started experimenting.

The idea of connecting different media excites me.

My work reflects who I am. My art helps me understand how I perceive myself and the world around me. I explore and process my deep thoughts and emotions through my work. I lost my little brother five years ago, and that changed me profoundly. After that, I fully embraced being an artist, as if I had no choice but to express myself. My loss and grief became a catalyst for a powerful love and drive to create and explore existential themes, because I found those are the only things that really matter when the world feels like it’s standing still.

I have therapy, haha! Besides that, my work is also therapeutic for me. Being able to explore my feelings and visualize them gives a positive spin to my overwhelming inner world. It helps me find beauty in darkness.

The speed of life. I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself to keep producing, out of fear of becoming irrelevant. Modern life moves incredibly fast, largely due to social media and the digital world. The way we perceive visuals has changed so much, and I see this a lot in the film industry. Social media has become the main outlet for work, where creations can disappear after a single view. As a multidisciplinary artist, I aim to make people feel something in real life—a tactile experience that bridges the digital and offline worlds. Both are part of life today, and I try to play with that dynamic.

As I mentioned before, I tend to pressure myself with the idea that I need to keep producing to stay relevant, which sometimes disrupts my artistic flow. I struggle with imposter syndrome and often feel my work is never good enough. By analyzing these thought patterns (which are mostly in my own head) through my work, I try to transform this pain into power. Disconnecting and spending time in nature helps me reconnect with my true self and detach from societal pressures.

Mariona was recommended by Candela Capitán during my pre-production in Barcelona. We met, and I immediately knew her vibrant and pure energy was a perfect fit for what I wanted to create. She’s both the protagonist of the film (where it all began) and the live performance. I’m so thankful she’s been with me throughout the process; she’s an incredibly talented dancer with a “can-do” mentality, which has been a joy to work with. When we made the film two years ago, I felt compelled to extend the experience. I decided to recreate a scene from the film as a live performance, where Mariona dances a duet with a drone that symbolizes her inner demon, BEELZEBUB. We created static 3D holograms that surround Mariona, symbolizing the outside world, static and distant. Through this project, I met one of my now closest friends, Maria Gysi, the CGI artist who created the 3D worlds and holograms with me. We bonded over our shared love for drones and a mutual understanding of grief. It was through Maria and another friend that I met Nastya Vogan, whose sound hypnotized me instantly. It felt right to ask Nastya to mesmerize the audience with her live sound performance during BEELZEBUB.

The reactions were overwhelming. I feel humbled and thankful for everyone who came out and for the positive feedback our team received. I was quite focused on directing the different layers of the show and managing the drone performances, but I heard from others that people felt

One person came to me after the show and told me that they had felt safe and understood for the first time with an art performance. It was the biggest compliment I could have received.

The biggest insight for me has been realizing that the process of creating and developing is what brings me the most happiness—even more than the final performance. Although, seeing that final performance moved me beyond words. I wish I could go back and stand there again, watching Mariona in that milky water, perfectly in sync with the drone, hypnotized by the sound that filled the space. Pure magic. The synergy with the team fills me with joy, and BEELZEBUB truly came to life because of that incredible collaboration. Every inspiring meeting, every new idea, brought me closer to knowing this is what I’ll do until the day I die. To close, I just want to give a massive shout-out to my team. Love you guys!
