Born in Montevideo, Uruguay. The portrait like a self portrait or seeking the inner essence. My painting is completely impregnated with what I feel and what I think. We shared loneliness: we are quite alone. We face alone the great and small events of our lives: my birth, my life, my death. The others are spectators of our lives. That loneliness becomes gigantic when we assert our freedom and try to be ourselves, consolidating as unique and unrepeatable beings. That is when we move from the masses thinking and we dare to think according to our own convictions, and not hide behind prevalents customs or fashions. Hence, in my work a single person is watching us and also let us look at her imposing her presence.A character who becomes gigantic in the cloth because she suffered from overcrowding, from hiding, from being a number in a group, from not being allow to be herself ... From there the size and color that hits the viewer to draw attention to her presence SAYING: HERE I AM, "ME", I AM ALIVE, I AM UNIQUE. When I paint, the energy that flows from my hands comes from the depths of my being, from my breath that oxygenated my blood, carrying that oxygen to my brain, givying me energy and ordering actions to my hands and fingers, that write on the cloth what I feel. It comes as a loud scream coming from my guts, from the rebellion of BEING, that is imprisoned inside the walls of my body, trapped in time.
