2017 - PresentCHERRY TREES - IRUPÉSEvery night, the water lily closes its petals over the wounds, only to open them again when the moon rises on the horizon.
2010 - 2017METAMORPHOSISThey are transformations, mutations. It is intensity, multiplicity, receptivity, creativity.
2004 - 2010BEDSDrawings painted, paintings drawn. Figurative abstractions and vice versa. Pure white.
2000 - 2004ART MARKETIn 2004, the exhibition "Art Market" takes place at the Galería Ecléctica and later, also curated by Patricia Rizzo, at the Zona en proyecto industrial space.
1999 - 2000POSTCARDS IIA subworld inside me, impossible to intervene. I wonder if an ingenuous and distracted magical thought was involved.
1997 - 1999POSTCARDS IDramatic expressionism. It is death, love, emergence, and disappearance. Neutral colors, textured-torn surfaces. And the appropriation of consumer materials.
TEACHINGI became a teacher before starting the Fine Arts school. In those beginnings, I worked in formal and non-formal institutions, at early childhood, primary, secondary, and third age levels. Also in the workshops of many of my teachers.
NUSHUWe researched natural dyes, boiled onions, avocados, potions. The freedom to paint those fabrics, loose, soft, spread out fabrics. Without the pressure of the work itself, without time.
POTTERYPottery, a parallel activity. Linked to the craft, to the earth, to the fire. Providing food, the containing bowl, kneading. Zen. A thoughtless thought, a thought from intuition.
