About the artist:

I was born in Buenos Aires to an Ashkenazi Jewish actress and a Peruvian mestizo psychiatrist. Growing up in a city shaped by European immigration, I often felt that I inhabited a liminal space physically and mentally-between worlds, identities, and narratives. These early years were marked by a quiet tension between belonging and otherness.

After high school, I moved to El Paso, where I have lived for over four decades. Here too, I've occupied a threshold-between the United States and Argentina, between white and Chicano cultures. These shifting cultural and emotional geographies have profoundly shaped my sense of self and the way I approach art.

Socially and personally, I tend to be playful, joyful, lighthearted, and simple. But intellectually and professionally, I am drawn to structure, ritual, and complexity. My art reflects this duality: while my color palette is vibrant, playful, and almost naïve, the forms are complex, technical, and ritualistic. I describe my visual language as naïve synthetic cubism-an approach that weaves together innocence and sophistication, childlike joy and intellectual rigor.
