About me
From a very young age I loved painting and playing teacher. I remember in Salta, my hometown, when in the afternoon I looked at the hills and interpreted them in my own way with materials that I had within my reach.
In my adolescence we moved to the City of Buenos Aires with my family, a great change in my life, which I am grateful for because it allowed me to study my fine arts degree at the Prilidiano Pueyrredón school, an institution with a good academic level. A few years later I did a Bachelor's degree in Visual Arts (UNA).
I had the privilege of teaching for 31 years, in two very beautiful and prestigious schools in Buenos Aires. My students were teenagers and it was a great experience that I value and appreciate, because it allowed me to develop my vocation and not only provide my knowledge, but also learn a lot from them.
At the same time, I participated in group exhibitions, illustrated books and developed painting and art history workshops.
Today, having finished such a valuable stage in my teaching life, I put on the plastic artist shirt to follow my creative evolution, something that I have carried with me since I can remember and is another of my passions.
With respect to my painting, different stages can be observed:
A first figurative stage coincides with my stage as a fine arts student. I painted portraits, landscapes, compositions with animals, I loved at that time, interpreting naturalistic themes in my own way.
In the second stage of my work, there is a predominance of geometric shapes and abstraction also appears. These are works that transmit great energy, many contrasts of colors and transparencies are observed, they have great dynamism.
My third stage coincides with my move from the big city, such as Buenos Aires, to an area surrounded by nature. My paintings began to reflect flowers and leaves with a predominance of warm palette, but you can still see some geometry, surely manifesting my lifestyle, with many class schedules.
Finally, my present stage, which expresses great freedom, full of texture and colors, a very intense work between expressionism and informalism, a great game is produced where the viewer's imagination invites him to discover an endless number of figures and becomes a creator within my own work.
All these stages are a faithful reflection of my experiences and emotions.
I am infinitely grateful for following this path full of surprises, where the dialogue between the soul and thought combines.
