BETWEEN THE PRESENT AND THE PAST (Borders project 2015-2021) Painting

María Cecilia Picca, a resident of Río Ceballos, Córdoba, Argentina, presents an outstanding academic background from the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Holding a degree in Painting, she has garnered awards and recognition throughout her career, including the University Prize with Honorable Mention for Academic Merit. Her journey includes a training scholarship and a loan granted by the National Arts Fund to integrate technological and pictorial manual aspects in a collaborative project with Engineer Juan Manuel Moreno. Notable participations in national and international exhibitions and biennials, such as the Second Accésit in the V International Painting Prize Mario Saslovsky and involvement in the 111th National Salon Palais de Glace of Visual Arts in 2023, among others. With selections in the International Biennial of Río Negro, the Foundation Andreani Award, UADE Prize, and the B-Arte Prize in LABITCONF, María Cecilia has showcased her work in both individual and collective exhibitions at distinguished spaces like the Museum of Contemporary Art MACU, the Women's Museum, and the Ferreyra Palace in Córdoba. Her participation in national salons, such as the National Painting Salon Bancor, and international events like Arteamericas and Art Bo, reflects the diversity of her body of work. With over 140 pieces to her name, Picca continues to explore and rethink the interstitial spaces through the Bordes project (2012-2024), evolving into ENTRE, where the dialogue between the manual, the technological, and the yet-to-be-discovered continues to inspire new creations.
