About me

I was born and brought up in Buenos Aires. I am the daughter of a lyric soprano and a photographer and musician. Since I was very little, I have felt great passion for drawing. This is why, from an early age, I used to spend a long time at my grandfather’s sculpture workshop, the sculpture Rómulo Arellano, who was my first drawing teacher.
I entered the University of Architecture and Urbanism, University of Buenos Aires in 1991.
In December, 1997, I travelled to Brazil, where I was living until March, 1999. In Salvador, Bahia, I worked in the restoration of the Church of Nosso Señor do Bonfim for Restauro, a company a company that restores art. I had the marvellous opportunity of admiring local painters in primitive art and I started to paint oil on canvas.
In 1998, these paintings were exhibited and sold in Mercado Modelo, in the African Art Gallery, directed by the painter Lena da Bahia and in the Gallery Casa dos Escravos, all located in Pelourinho, the ancient neighbourhood of the city.
Back in Buenos Aires, I resumed my university career, getting my degree in 2002. At the University, I took the subjects of drawing and graphic representation with the Painting National Teacher Martha Rodriguez Carrera, who afterwards invited me to take part in her teaching team, activity that I developed during 2002 and 2003.
In November and December, 2002, I took water colour classes with Eduardo Cercera and Sergio Merayo; in 2003 I entered in IUNA, University National Institute of Art.
I worked in the Digital Images Files of the American Art and Aesthetics Investigations Mario Buschiazzo in the University of Architecture of Buenos Aires.
In the meantime, I went on painting and experiencing my own technique adapt in ways with acrylic painting, oil on cardboard, wood and textured canvas and collage.
I was invited by the famous Argentinean painter Pilar Sala to participate in her web page. You can see my portfolio on http://www.artistas.artenaif.com
Also, I was invited by artist Christofer Fabbri, who grew up in Boston , lives in California, you can see this site on

I am an admirer of the Argentinean artists Juan Carlos Castagnino Benito Quinquela Martín and Emilio Pettoruti. I also like Gustav Klimt, Wassily Kandisky, Van Gogh, Paul Gaugin, William Moraris´ Arts and Crafts Movement , Leonardo da Vinci, Antoni Gaudí and Frank Lloyd Wright.
Since January, 2002, I have been exhibiting and selling my works in Plaza Juan XXIII in the Buenos Airs City neighbourhood of Recoleta, with the sponsor and support of Asociación de Artistas Plásticos of Paseo de las Artes de Recoleta.
Color is light and light is life. Colour makes life happier. When I paint I feel joy and peace.My idea is to combine drawing, painting and architecture, saving the architectural assets and the beauty of my city and its corners.
