Verónica Iriarte

The births of my children have been very moving in my life and work. Watching them has always amazed me. After such marvellous experience, the need to immortalize those moments in great scenarios was born. Perfect instants that we can't lose, that we're afraid to forget. No past, no future, and where everything flows into an eternal present. Friendships, love, the gift of being a mother, childhood are the topics of which my works speak about.

Toys take on a life of their own and tell small stories of reality. Magical atmospheres, dolls that laugh and involve us, overcoming our subject-object distinction. Flat backgrounds, without anecdote, have been transformed, wrapped and protecting the main characters. These protagonists are painted in deep detail to include the viewer in the story, an instant of pure pleasure.

I was born in 1972, in Buenos Aires. A National Art Teacher in Drawing and Painting degree was given in 2004. After that I attended art classes with very known artists like Nigro, Odell, Astica, Bengoechea, Antoniadis and Warckmeister. I had also made a clinic with Mc Entyre. Other art areas were studied by me like: Restauration, Embroidery, Ceramics, Felting, Vitraux, Mosaics, Art History and Art & Education.

Awards and mentions were given to me. I took part in individual and group Exhibitions, at different Museums, Cultural Centers and Galleries, such as Standart Bank, Recoleta's Cultural Center, Quinquela Martín’s Museum, Borges Cultural Center among others.Cassará-AreaTEC, National Fine Arts Academy, Investments Federal Centers, Argentine University of Enterprise (UADE), Pabellón IV Gallery, Autoría Gallery, Dante Aligheri, Japanesse Garden, National Library, Roca's Museum, Naval's Center and National Congress.
