Artistic Statement

My work reveals the epic moments of individual and collective existence and celebrates the enduring connection between humanity in the face of struggle and hope.

My work follows those who have nothing left except the will to remain human—in the deepest humanistic sense. I tell stories about people on the brink, fractured by culture and history, who still protect a small spark of dignity.

The unexpected journey of an artist toward her own voice.

In the late nineties, a young Cuban visual artist, dissatisfied with her place in her country’s art scene, accepts an Argentine professor’s invitation and relocates to Buenos Aires, where the 2001 social uprising and a new artistic world force her to redefine her identity and her destiny.
