Artist Biography

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I live and work. I graduated as a Biochemist and doctor of Physiology but became a textile artist 20 years ago. During that time, I studied techniques, color, and composition in books, online, and with outstanding teachers when attending international shows. I have taught workshops and produced my art pieces, which have been exhibited in festivals, art salons, and museums in America and Europe.

I am a member of SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates), CAAT (Centro Argentino de Arte Textil), and SAAP (Sociedad Argentina de Artistas Plásticos), and I participate in their exhibits and other activities.

I currently belong to two international groups of textile artists, Viewpoints (www.viewpoints9.com ) and 20 Perspectives ( www.20perspectives.com ) with whom we are showing our work in different venues in Europe and USA

Artist Statement

I am captivated by the materiality of the fabrics, the colour, the techniques used to work them... by looking at them and touching them, my inspiration is born.

The painstaking nature of textile work calls the artist to introspection, often to isolation and solitude, creating spaces of calm and reflection, a healing ritual, a slow and intimate rhythm that marks the passage of time.

I am an artist with a practice that stems from craftsmanship, my sewing machine is my artistic tool. Textiles are naturally linked to our existence, they accompany us from birth and throughout our lives the tactile desire is kept alive. They take us back to primordial experiences, associating them with warmth, shelter and protection, with women's work and its history. The connection between the textile work and the viewer is spontaneous, without the need for a direct message, through sensations and feelings.

I choose colours, values, threads and textures. I often dye and work the surfaces of the fabrics with paint or prints, I also superimpose materials and perhaps use another element such as paper.

I don't tend to repeat the same technique exhaustively, it would bore me, and I don't try to achieve perfection, I think that's overrated. Imperfection makes the works unique, beautiful, wonderfully human and, above all, gives them life, which allows us to relate to them. I prefer to explore my creativity by setting myself new challenges, so many of my works represent a different experimental process. I consider myself an eclectic artist with a representational abstract style, a visual distillation of the figurative that allows me more freedom. The work becomes abstract and complex as you dive deeper and discover detail and texture. Gradually I have become a colourist first and foremost, that's my language. I tend to draw with colour, creating spaces and figures without lines, areas of colour.
