High mountains and indigenous cultures surrounded my childhood; I was born in La Paz, Bolivia. I grew fond of the bright colors and textiles that have inspired my artwork for many years. My continued curiosity for new cultures, language and design led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Architecture. I teach Spanish, architecture and design to children. I am a permanent member of Amapola Gallery in Old Town New Mexico and been showing my artworks internationally. Participating in different charity events and donating art to help programs for education and health.
My abstract designs are influenced by architecture, geometrical shapes and patterns based on nature and their mathematical components. The influence of the beautiful sunsets and landscapes of New Mexico inspire me to create continuous color gradations and textures, that help my art pieces move, sometimes creating little optical illusions, sometimes the composition changes according to the orientation of the piece. I have been exploring the use of resins and collage to add dimension and discovery. I paint the edges of a canvas to extend the design and allow it to be appreciated from different angles. I paint squares and rectangles that resemble the weaving of a textile. If you zoom in on a textile it dissolves into those squares and rectangles, but as you move farther away the composition will tell a story.
