Statement 
Working in the education department at the Emilio Pettoruti Provincial Museum of Fine Arts has been a profound experience, surrounded by a collection of over 5,000 works of art that span more than a century. This exposure has deeply influenced my current series of paintings, where artworks and objects that carry images, stories, and memories are central. Initially, this series was a way for me to explore the value of art, but it has evolved into a broader reflection on how objects reveal humanity's presence and absence. For me, art is the ultimate expression of the human experience.
My practice often explores self-referential themes, infusing traditional subjects like self- portraiture with a personal, contemporary approach. I'm particularly interested in the contrast between the constant documentation of life and the intimacy of realistic painting.
