Artist, teacher and student of nature and the universal language that is Art in all its aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have studied at the \u201cCorriente Alterna\u201d School of Visual Arts since the year
2007 to 2013.
Previously at the Montemar Institute in Professional Degree in Graphic Arts (1987-89).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She has participated in numerous exhibitions, both group and individual, from 2004 to the present year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBuztinaga is a magical space where history, nature and craftsmanship come together.
With all these ingredients, like a perfect fertilizer, Art should flourish without a doubt and inspiration can be found in every corner.\u201d
In Buztinaga I will be able to develop artisan weaving workshops like my pre-Columbian ancestors did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experimental loom weaving workshop:
The use of the loom as a support and the use of different textures and materials which are intertwined with the warp intuitively, whether through colors, textures or different shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transfer Workshops and Acrylic Painting Workshop:
An old technique, but now renewed with great innovation and impressive results
It involves the transmission of image, colors and shapes to the technical support, such as canvas, wood or methacrylate.
In this workshop we work on creative expression in its most primitive form where externalization and character added to the use of all combined elements allows us to develop better intuition and greater creativity in our artistic manifestations and works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ll tell you a little about myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To know who I am, I have to look back and see the beginning, look for my password again; When I looked for it I didn’t find it. This didn’t stop me, I reached for pencil and paper. What was there at the beginning? What constant had been repeated?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the beginning and further back, since I was a child to be exact, I was lucky enough to be able to see the textile and goldsmith work of pre-Columbian cultures since my father, at that time, collected them. Somehow those surreal representations with expressive simplicity were retained in my memory. They appeared in all my projects spontaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When searching and investigating the reason for this attraction, I found artistic coincidences with modern art, with works by artists who have been my references: Paul Klee, Agnes Martin and Marck Rothko. This is where another question arises: with what criteria could I compare these coincidences? The first, the visual and iconographic form; the second, the philosophical and humanistic aspect in accordance with the social, political, economic and religious environment of the times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I always thought that in some way I appropriated this ancient language to translate it into a modern one, I was wrong, there was no need to translate, it is the same language in a timeless space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Formally, I define myself as a painter (geometric abstraction) being a multidisciplinary artist. This allows me to have different tools to express myself. The techniques I use in addition to painting are assemblage, encaustic, textiles and performance; I learned some of these techniques during my creative process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
