Interview with Lucía Madriz, from Cero Uno gallery.

LM: You studied dance for 11 years in Conservatorio de Castella and also practiced among other choreographers like Maria Amalia Pendones and Vanessa de la O. You can feel that connection with dancing in plenty of your artwork. How has performing arts influenced your artistic production?

LHV: These mentors helped me understand my relationship with space and the ambiguity that exists inside and outside. Performing arts involve not just the audience's perspective but the performer’s point of view. I’ve always been interested in observing the movement, but also how it feels when executed.

LM: In your previous performances, the body tends to dematerialize. What’s your point of view on those pieces?

LHV: the body is matter inside a physical space, but it’s not limited; it also can expand and merge with space.

LM: In your general work, and for this art show, you use lots of mediums such as painting, sculpture, and performance. How do you articulate those languages in your work?

LHV: I choose the technique according to what I want to express. I’m interested in the process of production of an idea in different mediums, and then the use I make of these elements in the space or with my body.
