I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I’m 53 years old. I’ve been working in a company for more than 20 years, in an administrative position. By chance and due to the 2020 pandemic, I had the opportunity to attend a virtual collage course that helped me to get out of the routine. I had always wanted to do something creative to connect a little with my emotions. I quickly realized that the contact with paper and scissors was familiar to me, and that it transported me to a magical place with memories of my childhood. I remembered how much I liked to cut and paste as a child, and today it has become a type of therapy for me. I enjoy it a lot, it calms me down & relaxes me, and it has become almost a necessity for me. Through the images that I choose, I am able to express my attraction. Through bright colors, flowers, textures and characters, I transport myself into a dream to an inner Universe. I go there every time I need to find my true self.

In general, art gives us balance by allowing us get out of our head.

Humans need to feel more and I believe viewing and making art opens the heart.
