Artist Statement:
Born in Argentina, she graduated as a Visual Arts Teacher in Patagonia and later earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Arts with a specialization in Drawing from the National University of the Arts. She has participated in residencies, workshops, and seminars with notable contemporary Argentine artists and pursued postgraduate studies at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella.
Since 2016 she has been based in Barcelona, completing a Master’s Degree in Contemporary Artistic Creation and exhibiting in institutions and galleries across Europe and Asia.
Her practice aligns with meta-painting, focusing on the pictorial as a system rather than expression. She works with precise rules—constraints that govern color, space, and form—to explore how structure, grids, and non-repetition generate meaning beyond representation. Her work seeks to give form to the unsayable, and is held in private collections worldwide.

Artistic Influences:
I'm interested in artists who use the line as an expression form. The sense of space of Julie Mehretu; the studies on water and natural disasters by Leonardo Da Vinci, how his sketches become complex line abstractions; Rothko's meditated work, the repetition of the brushstroke and the pure presence of colour in his "colour fields".
About an artistic movement, I am walking between Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism.
