Biographical Info:

I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I studied music. and art. I am sculptor, installation artist and art educator based in Athens, Georgia. I have exhibited my work in galleries in Athens, Atlanta, Ohio and Buenos Aires, and I have done installations on trails in the woods and other public spaces. I was awarded a juror-selected winner prize in the 2019 Gathered biennial exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia and selected for its Georgia Artists of Hispanic/Latinx Origin in 2020. I work with very common and disposable materials (tape, Styrofoam bowls, balloons) and I investigate the three-dimensional shapes these materials can take through repetition and expansion. I have explored the properties of those materials to highlight their unexpected potential in art and rescue them from the trash. I conceive of art as a sustainable process, constantly reusing my objects in new installations and combinations. Although my art has appeared mostly in galleries, I have also made installations outdoors in woods and trails, where my objects, some of which acquire an organic resemblance, are just a tiny part integrated and interacting harmoniously with nature, as I envision the position of humans and their artifacts should be in the world.
