Introduction and Experience
51 years old (born 1974), of Argentine descent and Spanish nationality, born in Buenos Aires, moved to Barcelona with her family at the age of two, and currently resides in Santa Coloma de Farners. She previously worked as an illustrator before focusing on painting. A landscape painter, her work draws inspiration from the coastal wetlands and forests of Catalonia, influenced by Symbolism, the Pre-Raphaelite movement, and science fiction animation. Her lush forests are imbued with a surreal, dreamlike mystery, filled with mist and vapor, exquisite details that are subtly revealed, creating a Western-style secret realm with a rich Eastern ink-wash aesthetic through beautiful and romantic colors. Since 2016, she has had at least 4 solo exhibitions and 23 group exhibitions (including 20 competition awards).
