Hello,
welcome!
I am pleased to receive you in my web page and share my paintings with
you. My artwork can be defined as contemporary art and it involves from
figurative to abstract paintings. By means of my artwork, I wish to
achieve an increased inner peace and creativity throughout time. In
general, I use canvas to perform them, although some of them have been
painted on paper or wood and protected with varnished. In order to reach
varied color shades and textures I use acrylic painting and a mixed
technique. Subjects that inspire me arise from my desire to paint nature,
taking from Argentine landscapes its mountains, sea sides, beaches,
flowers and subjects that speak about the inner life and about the
celebration of love.
Among famous well-know painters my favorites are: Paul Klee, the post
impressionism of Van Gogh, Henri Matisse’s freedom in the use of color,
Wassilly, Kandinsky with their abstract art contributions, Pablo
Picasso’s cubism and surrealism, Jackson Pollock and the action painting,
Francis Bacon and the new figurative method. When speaking about
renowned artists in Argentine Painting my favorites are: Antonio Berni
and his surrealist style, Luis Debairosmoura and his contemporary
expressionism, Carlos Cañas’ exaltation of color and Carlos Alonso’s new
realistic approach.
When entering into my page, you will find an exhibition of my artwork
divided into different subjects, hope you enjoy it!

What do
my paintings represent?
My abstract paintings represent my world and my personal circumstances, internal
life experiences, life situations I have to face, moments that I wish to
capture in the memory, thoughts that I want to transmit to other people.
All the above reflected by means of my painting techniques in colors
that express my emotions and state of soul.
Subjects approached in my artworks
Subjects arise from everything that touches me. A color that makes my
sensitivity vibrate, enchanted landscapes, suns and moons, a flower, a
gesture, a smile, joy and pain.
I started from figurative painting and at present I am fully satisfied
with abstraction, where I feel I can express myself with more freedom.
Why do I paint?
I perform works of art because through them, I am able to express the
passion and the desire that conveyed onto the canvas allow me to
establish a deep connection with my feelings and the sensation of being
able to catch- in an instant - something that will for ever remain
captured on the canvas through a color, a shape or a stain.
What subjects do I choose?
Subjects just come to me, either from the exterior or interior reality,
as a starting point for creation. All this, considered from my
spirituality, in my way, with the vision and emotion of my feelings and
thoughts.
Special Meaning
As an abstract artist, the art practice is a healing process for me,
since I find by means of the painting techniques the possibility of
creating and recreating -in a tireless manner -those circumstances
influencing my sensitivity giving way to new things, images, colors,
landscapes. My art philosophy is a challenge, in which I dare to
discover what there is inside me, to subsequently offer it to the others
with love.
I wish to communicate a message that touches people, a message that
affects them, a message that takes them away from routine and worries,
so that they are able to enjoy a pleasant moment, and get connected with
their inner beings, and make them feel that the beauty present in art is
accessible to all art lovers no matter if they are professional painters
or beginners. My wish is that people take a moment and find in their
interior what the art work is telling them. And if in addition to the
above the artwork arises any feeling in the audience, if it opens a path
to imagination or introduces the audience into the art world - that
makes me happy.
I try to convey an optimistic message through my art and reflect the
love for life and nature that I feel.
Surfaces
& Materials
I create high quality paintings. My artworks are performed in acrylic,
and occasionally combined with other mixed-media materials to create
abstract paintings. When I started painting, I performed some paintings
on wood and paper; however, at present I always use canvas for my
artworks. The surface is 100% natural cotton (acid-free) canvas primed
with gesso, providing sand texture sealed and non-yellowing surfaces. I
use professional artist-grade, mildew resistant, acrylics. Water-clear,
semi-gloss fungicide, UV absorber fixative varnish is applied to protect
and enhance the colors of the paintings. Some canvases have been removed
from the stretchers and rolled for storage. Stretchers may be provided,
if necessary.
