These photographs intend to show my true passions, what makes me feel alive. Horses, boats, flowers, landscapes, people, children, whatever speaks to me. I look at “the world around me”, and a new level of consciousness emerges.

In this process, I intend to reveal aspects of my daily routine and history, projecting a universal language. I hope to invite the viewer into my space and dimension, filled with poetry.
Skies, water, earth, the grand creation of nature that connects me to our environment and roots. This body of work is in progress and constant transformation.

"The world around me"

Dancing Tango

Teresa Caro Ottens was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, also known artistically as Mateca, an acrostic of her maiden name. Mateca rediscovered her love and passion for “Tango”, after leaving her native Argentina in the early 70s. The deep sense of rootlessness drew her closer to deepen her knowledge about what is an important part of her Heritage. She is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design and spent a year in Florence, Italy, dedicated to the study of Art History, Drawing and Painting. Toronto is her home and she regularly visits her native Argentina.
Painter, sculptress, photographer, she has worked in many design and arts related events, organizing and curating different Latin American Art Exhibits for organizations.
