Paraguay is a small, landlocked country at the centre of South America and I am part of the first group of art students that came from the National University. I started exhibiting nationally around 1998, and internationally in 1999.
I use to spend a lot of time in New York where my mother lives, and took some courses at the School of Visual Arts in the past, as well as attending some printmaking classes at Bob Blackburn’s Printmaking Workshop. So, I spent my first years as an art student going back and forth, from south to north, which was an incredible experience that reinforced my concerns about migration and identity.
