PAINTER

Paraguayan painter with training in drawing in São Paulo, Brazil (FEBASP), and printmaking at the Centro de Estudios Brasileros in Paraguay. Her work is characterized by an expressive and personal visual language that she has been developing since the mid-2010s.

She has exhibited at Fundación Texo, Museo del Barro, and galleries such as FUGA and Exaedro within the framework of PINTA Sud, as well as at the Embassy of Paraguay in Paris. She has participated in the development of international projects and collaborations.

She won the Matisse Prize in 2018, which enabled her to undertake a residency at the Cité des Arts (Paris, 2019). She has also participated in group exhibitions such as Pintoras Paraguayas, Emboscada, and Proyecto Creadoras Paraguay 2025.

Her work reflects on the sensitive and the political through an intense and gestural aesthetic.

STATEMENT

“The scenario is the drama”
  • THE HUMAN CONDITION

    One of the central concerns in my artistic practice is the representation of vulnerable aspects of the human condition. I approach these questions primarily through painting, working mainly with oil, while drawing also remains a sustained and important part of my practice. Visually, I am drawn to the tension between light and shadow — an element I explore through scenes of everyday life.

  • ART AS DIALOGUE

    I am interested in directing my practice toward a broader conversation about sensitive issues within the social sphere, where art can function as a tool for reflection and dialogue. When creating, I can be very tenacious and even obsessive, working in my own way and at my own pace.

  • CREATING AND DESTROYING

    “All creation comes from destruction.” Perfection is my worst enemy — my instinct for perfection should abstain.
