Buenos Aires, Argentina
The power of the image and its style continuity are two of the virtues of this work. It is very neat, and it manages to catch our attention. It has landscapes with an aesthetic which is different to photography. It is a fine collage that is not afraid of bad taste, it takes risks, composes and balances. It uses a tool alien to painting achieving a very pictorial effect. First Itaú Cultural Visual Arts Award 2016-2017. Source: Itaú Cultural Visual Arts Award 2016-2017 catalogue.
