About me...
I am a Spanish-Argentinian artist based in Canada. As a teenager I fell in love with theatre and decided to pursue a career in the Performing Arts.
I produced, directed and wrote several theatre plays with my small company. Then joined a touring circus company for many years, making and repairing costumes, props and stage set. I have been a story-teller, clown dresser, stage mopper, puppet doctor, with my hands full of paint and my pockets full of tools.
As a mixed-media artist I cannot say that I’m entirely self-taught, as despite not having a formal education in visual arts, I had the chance to work with talented scenic builders, painters and costume designers who generously shared a lot of their knowledge with me. My works are undoubtedly influenced by all this theatrical background and nomadic lifestyle.
About my work...
I try to capture magic in the ordinary creating poetical and sometimes surreal works.
Antiques, found objects, vintage images, memorabilia are my playground.
My source of inspiration could be the evocative power of an old picture, the significance of an old jewel, the magic contained in an expired photographic film.
I usually begin a piece with an idea in mind and then allow myself to get lost. Is a meditative process where I try to detach from my mind and let my intuition be the guide.
Like in an Exquisite Corpse, I put together disconnected pieces and allow them to find a new meaning and tell a new story.
