the head of the History of Visual Arts and History of Music in
the High Music Conservatory Manuel de Falla (Buenos Aires) to

Art Galleries and Foundations, in individual and collective shows.
Abroad, she has had major shows in Punta del Este (Uruguay), San
Juan de Puerto Rico, Madrid, Frankfurt, Houston, Corpus Christi

and Miami; and in individual shows and as part of important European
Photography Festival.
Her portfolios may be found in the Museo del Barrio-New York
LatinAmerican Photography files, as well in The Modern Art Museum
of Buenos Aires Permanent Collection of Argentine Photography.
Artist Statement
I am a photographer
To know that going back is not possible, to find that memory
is not enough
and everything is unavoidably ephemeral...then, capturing what
seduces me
is the only way.
Photographing is to recover my scattered fragments.
Photographing means possession in its pure state:
killing things so they do not die.
Sometimes I find what I am looking for.
Sometimes I find what I am not looking for.
Sometimes I don’t know what I am looking for.
Finally, I certainly believe as Oscar Wilde did that the mystery
of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
