Mixed techniques painting made over a large wooden framed canvas with acrylics paints and permanent markers, lacquered to give a semi-glossy look thal also helps preserve the painting. All frame sides are also painted. Surely, you have ever heard the saying " You are the black sheep of the family" referring to a family member different from the rest of the society. Have you ever wondered about its origin? As you might suspect, it is related to the farmer's preference for flocks of entirely white sheep (their wool was easier to dye.) But ... did you know that all the herds of Alto Aragón, Spain, carry one, and do you know why? According to tradition, the belief that one black sheep protect the flock from evils, diseases, or even thunderstorms. So, now I introduce to you "My black sheep"! Although different, his charming personality will take care of all evils! My painting connects me with my inner childhood where everything is possible, all colors equally important and dreams can become real. I welcome you to enter the fantastic world of my paintings. Este cuadro esta realizado en un lienzo sobre bastidor, técnica mixta, con acrílicos y terminaciones de detalles con marcadores permanentes, sus bordes están terminados y finalmente es laqueado para darle una terminación de cierto brillo y también ayuda a la conservación del cuadro. Seguramente, alguna vez hayas oído la expresión “es/eres la oveja negra de la familia” haciendo referencia a la personalidad diferente de una persona respecto a su familia, teniendo una connotación negativa. ¿Te has preguntado alguna vez su origen? Como cabe esperar, está relacionado con los rebaños de ovejas donde se tenía una predilección hacia las ovejas blancas porque su lana era más fácil de teñir. Pero…Todos los rebaños del Alto Aragón llevan una, y sabes porque? Los pastores del Alto de Aragon según sus tradiciones aseguran que las ovejas negras, protegen al rebaño de los males, enfermedades o incluso de las tormentas. Luego de contarles de que se trata les presento “mi oveja negra” para ustedes! Si bien puede tener personalidad distinta los cuidara de los males! Mi pintura me conecta con mi niño más profundo donde todo es posible donde todos los colores valen y donde los sueños son nuestra realidad. Me gustaría que el al ver mi obra pueda entrar a mi mundo fantástico

"I love to paint. It gives me joy and energy. Looking at my artwork you can see many different eclectic styles along different periods in my life”. In order to really grasp Pato Casagrande's painting, it is necessary to know her roots and experiences. Daughter of a Finnish father and a mother from Santiago, Pato grew up in a large house in Adrogue raised by her grandmother, a trapeze artist in her father’s circus. It is her grandmother who instills in Pato, half in German, half in Spanish, an education strongly oriented to freedom, principle and autonomy, along and in between rich meals and accordion melodies, love for animals, plants, fascination with vibrant colors and, most specially, respect for noble values Her artistic call manifested in her early childhood. Painting was a game she learned to play all by herself. Lates in life she took formal painting classes at several workshops many of them with her Adrian Lirman who was key in tutoring her to become the artist she is today. As a young woman, she mothered two children (Julieta and Vicente) with whom, between laughter, games, spend many years of great joy growing together. During that time continued painting for her own pleasure. Nowadays with her children grown up Pato dedicates herself full time to her art, making a profession out of her passion. Pató´s painting career is segmented in four different creative periods. Initially preferred abstracts compositions (using mostly oil paints and spatulas), later she shifted to bright colorful imaginary animals (She usually refers to these periods as a sort of Animal´s Carnival), more recently she crafted images combining mixed techniques with collage to create shamelessly happy images. In her fourth and current period, Pato has returned to her first love, abstracts but now she enjoys to express herself creating simpler images (enjoying the freedon of not needing give any meaning to her creations) using strong spatula strokes to compose forms that somehow reflect the multicultural heritage she carries in her blood. Pato paints every day, gives painting lessons and organizes painting workshops for private entities. She also oversees the marketing and selling of her artworks in Argentina and abroad.
