research“I’m interested in narratives that bridge cross-disciplinary languages, with a focus on experimental work. Both my academic and creative research are shaped by an approach that views storytelling through the lens of contemporary art.” — PV
“This creative research brings the spirit of hybrid projects through storytelling and education, using technology as a bridge between disciplines. Grounded in collaboration, this work invites diverse voices to co-create narratives that rethink how we learn, connect, and communicate across cultures.”
Interdisciplinary
“I have developed an educational and professional background that integrates multiple artistic disciplines, with a particular focus on filmmaking, visual theater, writing, and visual art.” PV
— Artwork
Multicultural
“I’ve been influenced by a multicultural environment, shaped by my experiences living and studying across global cities.” PV
Innovation
“With a focus on experimental work, international collaboration, and higher education in emerging markets, I’ve worked to foster creativity, exchange, and transformation within both artistic and professional fields.” PV
Technology
“I seek ways to incorporate innovation into my work across multimedia art, transmedia storytelling, and immersive experiences.” PV

“Searching narratives challenges inherited structures of storytelling, opening experiments in perception. It requires stepping into the unknown, embracing risks, and letting intuition guide the creative process. The dialogue between disciplines fosters innovation —each medium offers a unique lens to reimagine reality. Filmmaking captures time, memory, and movement; visual theater transforms space into a living narrative; writing distills thought and emotion; and visual art evokes the unspeakable through images. In each, there's an interplay between the tangible and unseen, the personal and universal. What if a film unfolded like a dream, untethered from linear time? What if a stage dissolved its fourth wall, inviting the audience to co-create? What if language fractured and recombined, opening new poetic dimensions? Techniques from cinema influence stage compositions; poetic structures inspire visual rhythms; sculptural forms suggest filmic movement. The blend of ideas expands storytelling, building connections.” — PV

“
Our life is half natural and half technological. We must have a strong human element to keep modesty and natural life.”
Nam June Paik
“Cross-disciplinary work intrigues me —combining the technical language of film with the live nature of performance, or finding words that look and images that speak. Living and studying in global cities have shaped my work. Over ten years in New York immersed me in a diverse cultural landscape that deeply influenced my worldview. Later, I spent five years in Mexico City, inspired by its heritage and energy, followed by nearly two years in the UK, engaging with a European context.
With a focus on forward-thinking artwork and international collaboration, I've fostered creativity and exchange, making experimental art that invites new dialogues, building global connections, and developing university programs at the intersection of arts, technology, and global collaboration. I explore how emerging technologies, like AI, XR (VR, AR, MR), and transmedia storytelling, can merge and innovate my work across multimedia art and immersive experiences. From a film festival in Mexico nurturing new voices, to a European project connecting artists across borders, my search of hybrid work reflects a universal, evolving landscape.” — PV

“We can travel anywhere we want, even to other planets.”
AI has turned into a major force as technology is changing the nature of creative process. AI art refers to artwork including procedural 'rule-based' generation of images using mathematical patterns, and algorithms that simulate digital effects.
“Ability of a computer or a robot to do tasks that are usually done by humans because they require human intelligence and discernement.” [Britannica]
Metaverse blends digital and physical worlds. “Replace ‘metaverse’ with ‘cyberspace.’ The meaning won't substantially change 90% of the time. It doesn't really refer to any specific technology, but rather a broad shift in how we interact with it.” [Wired]
VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality), and MR (Mixed Reality).
