I studied industrial design at UBA (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina); drawing, etching and photography at L’ESAV, (Ecole Superieure d’arts Visuels, Switzerland). I studied painting with M. L. Manassero and finally jewelry with Graciela Lescano. I’m a jewel designer, a graphic designer, an industrial designer and a potter. Since 2006 I have been part of the Fwiya Group, directed by Graciela Lescano, with whom I expose my work as a jewelery. Since 2008 I have been part of Joyeros Argentinos. Throughout the last years I have carried out numerous projects of design and assembly of contemporary jewelry exhibitions, catalog design and books on this subject, in addition to the production of my work in jewelry. Work, in parallel with the development of my work, in broadening the Argentine public's perspective towards contemporary jewelry, giving it a place within Argentine artistic production and also projecting its international diffusion. I have participated in numerous collective exhibitions of contemporary jewelry in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, France, Poland, USA, Estonia and Bulgaria.
Statement
In 2006, I discovered jewelry and it has ever since become my passion. I find in the world of jewelry a place that brings together varied aspects of art and design, and is this combination what attracts me the most. The counterpoint between imagination and ergonomic possibilities becomes a piece of expression that can be carried around, that is portable.Thorough part of my career I have worked with pieces of wood and found-sought objects with the idea of re-contextualize its natural or cultural elements that have fallen in disuse along the way. Pieces of wood in which time and water have left a mark, of old wire fences, of almost unrecognizable furniture; family photographs, old items left in drawers. They all become jewels that work like bridges, evoking something that moves us: Narrative pieces with stories that combine the object’s own story with the new images that arise from the new composition. All that is imperceptible and about to be lost comes back and change its course to become a new narrative.
My most recent work, on the other hand, was developed around words: Words of others but, who owns the words? They were there before we were born and they would still be here when we are gone. Nevertheless we make them ours. They are our creation, our permanent construction: Old, new, ordinary, obscure; they float within reach for us to grab them. In every single moment of time someone is building the world with words, reinventing it.
I have always been attracted by words. I love to underline, to cut, to write, to copy, to paste. Everything that is written and said around me is leaving its imprint on my work. For the work “The Lover” I have taken actual pages from a book that I love: Marguerite Duras' “The Lover”. The pages dismember themselves, the texts flow and mix: new readings arise through the new form.
