IDENTITY & ORIGINS

From Sonic Architectures to World Building

>_ I am a Franco-Spanish artist based in Tokyo, working at the intersection of digital fabrication and sci-fi worldbuilding.

>_
My artistic trajectory began in the invisible structures of sound. Trained in Music & Digital Arts, I spent years constructing sonic architectures—until a severe and permanent tinnitus suddenly altered my perception. That dissonance forced a re-rooting.

>_ After discovering 3D printing, I started treating the machine not just as a manufacturing tool, but as a synthesizer of artistic shapes, using layer lines, glitches, and printing errors as visual frequencies.

>_ Today, I develop a meta artistic project called Arkhorin Lore, that blends 3D-printed mixed-media sculpture, open source art, and science-fiction narrative.
