Picture

​My work is inspired by the beauty of nature, skies are my favourite subject to paint, most of them are inspired on the western skies of Alberta. 
My paintings are peaceful and relaxing, they tell the glory of the sky and its magnificence. I love texture and explore the volume of the material. 

I work with encaustic, a combination of beeswax, damar resin and pigment, mixed with oils and pigments for unique colour combinations. I fell in love with the finish, the smell and viscosity of the medium, it is very different from other painting techniques. 

I started to paint with passion for colour, lights and shadows. At the age of fifteen I was engaged in private art classes in drawing and painting, plastic expression and human figure with Nicholas Menza, in Argentina. 
I initiated my professional career as a Graphic Designer with a Bachelor’s Degree in Packaging Design. I see the objects in my surroundings and space as a whole, focusing on simplifying shapes and filling them with vibrant colours, with my own vision and love for arts and design.

I moved to Alberta in 2005, and continue my development as an artist participating in different associations and workshops. Introduced to encaustic medium in 2009, I committed myself to evolve and perfect this unique technique.

To enjoy a painting is not essential to understand painting. Painting and art feels good, gets to our heart through the eyes, touches our inside sounds like good music and according to the sensitivity of each person is appreciated and enjoyed differently.
