Artist Statement:
I am an Argentinean-Canadian self-taught artist living in Canada since 2005.
The intention with my art is for you to feel as when you hear the exact words you were looking for, and couldn’t find. Sometimes, I feel a pull of attraction to an everyday object or landscape. It could be the light, or even my feelings that day. I may have seen the object a thousand times, but never like this.
To achieve my painting language, I use oil paints in a very empirical way. These constant enterprises produce work that is one of a kind while keeping my style unique and is of my testimony of my belief that it is paramount as a growing artist to step out of your comfort zone.
In 2018 I began selling my paintings at shows and online with good reception. I am now an active member of The Federation of Canadian Artists, The Calgary Sketch Club, and the Calgary Creative Arts Guild. My art can be found in collections in Canada, the USA, Argentina, and the UK. One of my paintings was also selected to be on the cover of an Argentinean poems book. I have also received many awards in art contests last year.
Art connects "my world" with the "outside world" and I paint every day to keep that connection alive. I find challenging and rewarding the idea that I can improve, but I will never know everything about it.

Artistic Influences:
Master artists like Isaac Levitan and Ivan Shishkin for their landscapes, Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida and John Singer Sargent for the freshness of the technique and composition are the focus of my admiration. The art movements that influenced my art are Russian Realism and the beginning of Impressionism (Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir).
