The way home Painting

Recently, I have painted a series of inmigrantes . My grandfather had to migrate from Italy and two of my closest friends had to do so. As a psychologist I'm interested in the psychic continuity transmitted through generations of individuals within a family ,which goes beyond citizenship. They share moving and chimerical stories and sometimes painful experiences caused by separation and displacement . I admire immigrants 'deal with loss and how they maintain a sense of solidarity with those they left behind in their original countries. I admire their courage and sense of hope. I painted them in different moments , recently arrived and after finding their place in the world. I also love doing collages , and I did a series called 'from the garden' remembering my mother.
