Artist Statement
I am a Uruguayan visual artist with a nomadic spirit, whose journey has been shaped by living in eight different countries, each providing me with a unique insight into myself and the world around me. From Germany to Korea, from Mexico to Huntsville, Alabama, my work transcends borders, becoming a bridge between cultures, experiences, and universal emotions.
From an early age, my relationship with my parents was grounded in the appreciation of small everyday moments, powerful and full of meaning, deeply influencing my artistic practice. The unforgettable experience of participating in the construction of our home during my childhood instilled in me a profound sense of worth towards creativity, through play, creating my own toys, and feeling the constant need to keep creating.
I have studied art at various institutions around the world, from the Academy of Art in Badreicenhall, Germany, to the MOA Cultural Center in Toluca, Mexico, and the Keumyun Institute in Seoul, Korea.
In my work, much like in a musical piece, I leave a record that attempts to communicate the unknown dwelling within me, serving as a constant reminder that, although uncertainty and loneliness may be constant companions, they are also powerful muses that have inspired me to create beauty and find meaning in every corner of the world.
It was in those mystical and solitary landscapes where I established a deep spiritual connection, portraying my vitality expressed through colors, thus creating an intimate bond between the world and myself. Uncertainty and loneliness are identities I carry with me as two companions who have inhabited me for years, but whom I embrace with gratitude.
Objects found during my walks in nature became relevant elements for artistic creation, generating a fantastic world where vibrant colors and organic shapes extracted from nature intertwined, sometimes taking the form of abstract compositions. At times, I have found inspiration in artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Bladimiro Collazo, Turner, and Asian painting.
