bio
I grew up in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and lived there for 24 years. I relocated to London in 2011 and later moved to Chester (North West England). I have always been very curious about art and ways of making art as well as constantly feeding my imagination since childhood. I was an introvert child, spent a lot of time on my own therefore feeding a world of imagination through play and collage making was a place where I felt happy.
I have developed and evolved my style since the early years in Buenos Aires and later through formal education within art school and during my degree on Graphic Design.
In my art I touch concepts such as fragmentation, migration, spirituality, self discovery, to only name a few. I work on mixed media pieces, collages, acrylic paintings and digital photomontages. I find that the mix of techniques allow me to explore different meanings and ways of solving problems. I sometimes think this comes from my eclectic cultured background, being a child genetically influenced by both the European mix in my family as well as native Argentinians. Migrating to the UK has enhanced this, as by bringing my own set of experiences and mix of cultures I find myself having to adapt to a new environment. My style has evolved throughout the years since I arrived to the UK as well as the thinking processes behind my art, which are constantly being nourished.
My style can be described as surrealist, although I draw inspiration from various artists and movements across history to create my own distinctive style. I am inspired by the work of the surrealists from the past such as Eileen Agar, Picasso, Frida Kahlo and Max Ernst.
