Artist statement:

As both a tango dancer and a visual artist, I am captivated by the unspoken dialogue that unfolds between two bodies in motion. My work seeks to capture the emotional intensity, physical tension, and fleeting beauty of these intimate conversations.

Tango is more than a dance - it's a form of communication built on trust, presence, and mutual expression. In my paintings, I explore these dynamics through bold color, layered textures, and carefully framed compositions. Whether focusing on a full embrace or just a fleeting detail - a clasped hand, an arched back, or the sharp elegance of a heel - I aim to distill the essence of the moment where music, movement, and emotion converge.

I often choose to crop the figures, isolating parts of the body in motion to highlight the expressive power of posture and gesture. By doing so, I invite viewers to step into the dance - not as spectators, but as participants in its silent poetry.

These paintings are not just depictions of tango; they are reflections of my own experience within the dance. Each brushstroke is guided by the rhythm of the music and the memory of the movement, expressing the emotional landscape of a dance that speaks without words.
