Ballet Dancer on the Colombian Coast Painting

I am a woman who has woven her story with threads of passion, dedication, and resilience. My academic journey began by studying International Business Administration at the University of La Sabana. Due to my high academic performance, the university granted me a scholarship to pursue another degree, and I chose to study Law. I successfully completed both degrees. Later, I did an MBA from IE Business School in Madrid. My professional path has intertwined with roles in law firms, oil and gas operators, and as a co-founder of a real estate startup. However, my true narrative extends beyond contracts and transactions; it includes strokes of ART from my childhood. Throughout my life, I've woven a unique connection between artistic discipline and my passionate academic journey. Along the way, I chose to practice Family Law, where I discovered a profound purpose: to be a support for women in situations of vulnerability. My passion is to transform legal challenges into empowerment opportunities for women. I've decided to capture this in every canvas. My recent art exhibitions carry stories of female resilience, merging my love for art with my legal commitment, aiming to leave a much deeper imprint of my life purpose by embracing two seemingly opposing disciplines in harmony. In July 2023, I exhibited at the Rockefeller Center in New York. My meaningful and powerful artworks have resonated on the Nasdaq screen in Times Square and in media such as Forbes, La República, El Tiempo, El Espectador, and Semana. In the December 2023 edition of Forbes, I was selected as one of the 50 most creative Colombians in the world. Creativity, when born from the depths of our vulnerability, becomes a transformative force. My dedication to the fight for women's rights has become the driving force behind my art, a clear and powerful manifestation. My story, blending the legal and artistic realms, seeks to inspire others to surpass expectations, embrace their passions, and transcend conventional boundaries. I want to express my profound gratitude to my father, Hernán Panesso. From my earliest years, he saw a special talent for art in me and wished for me to become an artist. We spent countless hours together, with him as my most demanding critic. His insistence and emphasis on discipline as the key to turning a dream into a life project have been fundamental. Life, however, presents unexpected turns, and when I was still underage, my father passed away.
