I appreciate many tango paintings and drawings out there. But at the same time, I almost always find them intimidating! On the one hand, they create a sense of awe. But at the same time, I feel they make tango seem exotic, other-worldly, and a thing of unattainable beauty. In other words, they draw viewers in while also deterring them from trying the dance. As a tango teacher, I don't want tango to intimidate people. I'm always looking for ways of making the dance accessible and relatable to newcomers. In all my works involving tango, my goals are simple: to create a sense of connection between the dancers, and a feeling of movement. The viewers are free to add their own interpretations regarding emotions, motivations, etc. I have been dancing Argentine Tango for over 20 years (teaching for over a decade), and wanted to expand my love of this dance to different visual medium. Usually, I work with graphite and paper. But because of my current living situation, it's REALLY inconvenient to work with such "messy" materials. Fortunately, the digital realm makes it possible for me to continue drawing!

Although I love drawing, I never set out to be a professional artist. I signed up for a Pinterest account, because I learned it would be a good way to drive traffic to my blog. While trying to create pins, I couldn't find royalty-free images that I liked. Nor could I afford to sign up for any of the nice online image libraries out there. So one night I sat down, turned on my iPad, and decided to create my own tango images for my blog pins. Although I always had a tough time drawing human figures, I really enjoyed the process! So I decided to keep going with it. With 20+years of tango experience, I at least had the advantage of understanding my subject matter. As time went on, I've become better at it with consistent practice. Like I said, I’ve always had trouble drawing human figures, because people are SO COMPLICATED! On top of that, I can be pretty impatient and I lose concentration easily. At age 16, I once completed a very good portrait. I knew it was good because some jerk stole it. But since then, random doodles of superheroes represented the bulk of my accomplishments in the realm of figure-drawing. And those usually appeared on pieces of scrap paper around my desk, extra napkins I forgot to put away, or on the margins of my tax returns. My personal favorite was a pencil sketch that depicted Batman teaming up with Gandhi. I don’t remember the exact context of that drawing, though. Anyway… It turns out I like making tango art enough to want to share it with you, and will be posting more original works at this site.
