I’m a visual artist from Argentina, and my current work is deeply inspired by nature. I draw from direct observation of the natural world —plants, organic textures, light, structures, and subtle patterns— as well as from photographs I take, to create compositions that later become paintings, patterns, or geometric structures. I'm drawn to the fractal, the cyclical, and the silent growth of living systems. My pieces explore the balance between order and chaos, intuition and contemplation. Through them, I seek to create visual spaces that invite a pause — a way to inhabit the present and to look differently at what surrounds us.

This focus is the result of a journey shaped by continuous transformation. I began with black and white abstraction, inspired by highways and cities — their rhythms, tensions, and structures. Later, color entered my work through a series on carousels and amusement parks, and eventually through large-scale paintings of aerial urban landscapes.

I studied at the Intituto Artes Visuales, Santa Ana (Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I earned my degree as a Professor of Drawing and Printmaking. Although I specialized in those areas, my education also included extensive training in painting and sculpture during the early years of the program.

I continue to attend art clinics and participate in group critiques and workshops, as I believe in lifelong learning and the value of dialogue with other artists.
