“I am dedicated to exploring the beauty of the natural environment through my art. My work spans a spectrum from realism to abstraction, reflecting my fascination with the landscapes around me. The expansive skies of La Pampa serve as my primary inspiration, infusing my canvases with a sense of magic and freedom. Through my art, I aim to remind viewers of our interconnectedness with nature and the importance of looking outward as we strive to create a better future.”
