creative research"Integrating artistic and creative production with research to generate new knowledge, understanding, or insight, mostly embracing innovation and disruption, with a focus on collaboration and interdisciplinary perspectives." — External Review
Creating a transmedia documentary film to explore human experiences (You Are Mythical). Developing a multimedia performance to dive into culture (Flying Fish Over Mexico). Designing an interactive digital project to document a community (The Barbaric Country). Using an immersive installation to portray a native pueblo (Tarahumara Project).
“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 projects that rethink how we learn, connect, and communicate across cultures.”
“
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: blending the technical language of film with the live nature of performance, or finding words that look and images that speak. My creative research moves across mediums, seeking new ways to connect art, technology, and human experience. Living and studying in global cities —over ten years in New York, five in Mexico City, and nearly two in the UK— has deeply shaped both my worldview and artistic practice. Each project reflects this ongoing exploration of narratives, and innovation within a sustainable framework.
Interdisciplinary I My background brings together multiple languages to anchor an experimental and collaborative body of work. This evolving blend extends to Work Integrated Learning (WIL) in higher education, allowing me to question traditional borders. My practice searches ideas at the intersection of different fields, fueling outcomes that achieve fresh concepts and tangible changes. More than following what’s in vogue, this approach is a natural response to connect with and interpret the world.
Multicultural I My life and work are defined by deep international immersion. Having resided in major cultural hubs, and participated in projects in over twenty countries —Europe, United States, Latin America, and the Middle East— I bring a diverse perspective to every task. A crossroads of cultures that continues inspiring my artistic, professional, and academic work. These experiences make an impact beyond mere travelling: it’s the base of a practice built on dialogue and discovery.
Innovation I Focused on forward-thinking, international collaboration, I create experimental work that builds global connections. I have participated in media projects and university programs linking the arts, innovation, and technology. After foundational experiences in transmedia storytelling, I explore emerging narratives, and dive into tools like AI (Artificial Intelligence) and XR (Extended Reality), always driven by a sense of ground-breaking transformation. I also keep ongoing creative research through recent training in Project Incubation and Coolhunting, channeled to contemporary media trends.
Sustainable I Since the film New York Spin, I have used the leitmotif 'ecology of souls' to connect media, arts, and environmental spirit. This idea has landed in community-based projects, including promoting Latino culture in New York, supporting a essential services for Africa, and building an Arts Hub in Jordan. In this framework, culture/social participation is not just about professional outcomes, but about positive action toward people, and the planet.
My work is about connecting and sharing. In an age shaped by digital cultures —where immediacy can both unite and divide— I see creative research as a living ecology, fluid and collective. It invites reflection as much as innovation, embracing uncertainty to turn cultural and social challenges into opportunities for sustainability, and renewal. Through this process, I seek spaces where art, technology, and community evolve together, building more inclusive ways of being in a connected world." — PV
Creative Research
"Emerging narratives challenge 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

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]
