Artist Statement

Born in Buenos Aires, I was profoundly influenced by the vibrant energy and rich colors of my surroundings. The people, art, and architecture of my homeland continue to inspire me, as does the intricate interplay of color and pattern. My bold palette reflects not only this dynamic atmosphere but also my cherished memories of Argentina.

My connection to Buenos Aires is complex, shaped by the sadness of having to leave my extended family, friends, city, and country. I grew up during a time when political turmoil and dictatorship overshadowed daily life, and I witnessed the impact of oppression on my community and loved ones. The vibrant streets, once filled with laughter and creativity, were often shadowed by fear and uncertainty. Leaving my homeland was more than a physical departure; it was a painful separation from the core of my identity.

In my artwork, layers of narrative and paint mirror the complexities of life, including the sorrow of displacement. I work with pen and ink, watercolors, and acrylics to create impressionistic pieces that capture the essence of people, flowers, villages, landscapes, and wildlife.

Through my work, I strive to honor the beauty of my homeland while holding space for the pain of loss. Each piece is both a tribute to the vibrant culture that shaped me and a reminder of the resilience of those who continue to fight for freedom and expression in the face of adversity.
