What inspired you to dedicate yourself to photography and how would you define your style?
My first link with art was through my aunt, who painted with oil. However, what really fascinated me was how photographs intervened with an extremely fine brush. Seeing her work made me feel good; It was my best medicine. Art has always been part of my life, even without me knowing, from my family and my environment to my studies as an architect. For years, it has become my profession. In my artistic development at the beginning, I used oil, when I needed a faster drying, I moved to the acrylic. When I wanted to talk about water, I used watercolor, a practice that I continue to develop. I am currently investigating the action of the waters on different roles and their articulation as a purifying and healer as its effect on people, and the infinite transformation power it possesses; I go places where I find the water both in Argentina and abroad focusing mainly on the sea.
What does your work space mean for you?
It is in my current workshop where I can create and develop freely in an artistic way, it is my workplace where I do clinics, workshops and, sometimes, I open it to the public in Open Studio format. As for my work, I consider myself a ‘surgeon artist’, since I transform the paper, a seemingly fragile and ordinary material, into deep and significant artistic pieces. Through diverse techniques, specifications, wrinkle, Sumerjo, I turn the role into sculptures that invite the viewer to see beyond their initial appearance, revealing its hidden potential and challenging conventional perceptions.
What techniques and materials do you use to create your works and what challenges do you pose?
For me, the technique is a means that I choose according to the needs during the development of my works.
Due to my initial formation I used varied and wonderful papers, over time I began to explore and select those that best adapted to my work, looking for more moldable and diverse papers. Today, the work asks me for manual work that a simple brush cannot provide. I perform sculptures with paper and change the structure associated with the material.
What projects do you currently underway and what objectives do you set for the future?
Last year he participated in Map Feria and I will attend this year again, invited by the Edition Center Gallery Workshop.
Today I am committed to participatory art, I am interested in including the spectator in my work; My goal is to bring water closer to people, to make it a participant of an environment as spiritual and meditative. transmit the strong relationship that can be established with water and its health power.
For 2025 I will continue with the workshop for the improvement, production and critical analysis of works workshop workshop by Daniel Fischer in the ODA gallery.
