Artist Statement
My spirituality is touched day-to
day life.
My Art is always related with what
happens to me and to our environment at
the time of my inspiration. My hands fulfill
into my blank canvas what my emotions tell.
My technique is mixed media, mostly collage
and acrylics.
During
the 80’s, my children
growing up, my country Argentina getting
in shape, so my paintings were joyous,
vivid, and colorful.
During
the 90’s, the politicians
engulfing for them, broke our country,
and all of us. But while reaching out,
helping, I got in touch with the Indigenous
people, learned so much from them and of
course it showed in my paintings. Beautiful
scenes from the past just popped out when
I was painting, adding cultural background
to my collages. And also some dark paintings
from everyday life came out.
Now I am living in Florida for the
past 3 years. I am enjoying color again,
inspired by these tranquil surroundings.
It is with great satisfaction that
I see that my new paintings bring the two
worlds bonding into one.
