about

I am an independent filmmaker and visual artist with formal training in Art, Design, and the Public Domain at Harvard University Graduate School of Design (2020) and in Luxury Management at l’Institut Français de la Mode (2002). My creative journey began in 2005 in Paris, France, when I founded a collective of artists to experiment across disciplines, an exploration that organically led me to filmmaking.

Deleted Films is the evolving framework for my transdisciplinary, collaborative practice, where storytelling becomes a tool for critical inquiry and cultural disruption.

My work exists at the intersection of film, visual art, and creative direction, investigating how technology, media, and power structures shape perception and reality, and in turn, influence behavior, dictating collective identity.

Through my practice, I hope to challenge dominant narratives, integrate the ill body into society, and carve a space for unheard voices.

My latest short film, Candyland (2024), explores fractured realities in the age of surveillance capitalism, confronting the intersections of gender identity, gun violence, and the influence of underregulated screen technologies in an increasingly torn America. The film was officially selected for NewFest in New York City under category TRANSgressive and was a semi-finalist at the Blow-Up Art House Film Fest in Chicago.

My first short documentary, Éloge du Mouvement, was a decade-long collaboration with contemporary dancers affected by Huntington’s disease, an incurable neurodegenerative illness characterized by unvoluntary chorea. By transforming this stigmatizing movement into choreographic gestures of liberation, the project redefined notions of inclusion and destigmatization. Supported by l’Hôpital Pitié Salpêtrière and the Paris Brain Institute (ICM), it culminated in a neuroscientific study on the benefits of dance for HD patients and a public performance in Hiroshima, Japan, during the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing. The film was later broadcast by France Télévisions.

Beyond independent art making, my aesthetic sensibilities have been sharpen by years of engagement with the luxury, beauty, and fashion industries. I have contributed projects such as:

• Conceptualizing the creative direction for Sephora’s Where Beauty Beats, a European ad campaign produced by BETC

• Rebranding Faure Le Page as it entered the luxury accessory market in the same location where Gabrielle Chanel launched her first store in 1910

• Disrupting BVBA 32’s creative processes in the wake of Ann Demeulemeester’s departure

• Forecasting the evolving relationship between men and fashion for Première Vision

• Revitalizing Alfred Dunhill’s last remaining heritage store at 15 rue de la Paix

Each of these experiences has informed my artistic approach, reinforcing my belief in the power of storytelling to challenge, provoke, and ultimately reshape the way we see the world.

I am currently based in New York City and identify as an unlabeled mutt, shaped by three acquired national identities. Colombian by birth, Parisian in spirit, and a New Yorker at heart.
