Carolina Leiva

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I had two near-death experiences: the first, at the hands of another person; the second, from a brain tumor. Contrary to what I imagined, surviving didn't bring about an immediate change. Everything seemed the same. But over time, I understood that something had indeed changed: the need to evoke similar feelings in others.

What I feel is quite common: ambiguity. Curiosity. An attraction to the mysteries of science and life, and to beauty, both in its simplicity and complexity.

This restlessness has been with me since childhood: one of my earliest memories is the bewilderment I felt, as a child, when it was explained to me that the universe was infinite. I associated it with the idea of ​​eternal life from my religious upbringing. Perhaps that's why my interests oscillate between these two extremes, from science to mysticism.

My goal is to find a way to show my inner self without a set direction, trusting that the journey, seen over time, may reveal something of that.

My training in visual arts is hybrid: I'm self-taught and I also sought training from artists I admired and still admire, and they taught me about art and life.

I'm Art Direction, Master Practitioner in NLP. I ventured into Communication careers, Informatic Systems and psychology.
