About

It all started when…

I began to explore the cycles of suffering and escape and the limits of both ends. My art practice is confessional and is often formed by an expressionist style coalesced from passion and sentiment, love and nostalgia. These are the places where I translate my fragmented internal self onto pages, canvases, and prints.

Fragmentation is a word that, over the years, I’ve learned to understand, accept and love. I perceive life in pieces, flashes of beauty, images, and sounds. Every photograph, collage, and poem combines fragments of my emotions and experiences. By combining these different media, I reach those once indescribable blank spaces and create a space for my most challenging memories of intense pain and trauma. And, like my poetry, the spaces in between are the deepest.

I describe my art as a survey of humanity, focusing on marginal cultures within the realms of geography, sexuality, aesthetics, and religion. My work captures and conveys the psychological cost of individuals who live their lives and define themselves as opposing the dominant paradigm or culture.

After a challenging childhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I emerged, with a solid tie to photographic images, as a welcoming and quiet practice free from other sensory media that I found confusing or aggressive. These silent images allowed me to communicate socially and express various emotions.

My collage work came later in life, during intense pain and trauma. The act of cutting images and texts from pages was calming and meditative. At some point, I realized this is how I lived most of my life, from love to trauma to pain to pieces. This act of creating physical fragments became a way of coping with and understanding my life. As I dive deeper into my artistic practice, I am also uncovering my other topics, such as the relationship between ourselves and others, the cycle of suffering and escape, and the elusive idea of healing.
