Oil painting has been a big love of mine since an early age. I’ve been longing for so long to understand the bare bones of the atelier method and now in completing the drawing year at Grand Central Atelier my art has been starting to evolve as well as my concepts. My constant exploration in the mystery of ontology through discovery and interaction has lead me to explore new fields in painting. I’m so happy to learn new painting methods to formulate my investigation of the human condition and my career as an artist. With the financial resources necessary to have such a possibility would enable me to attend and be the best student I can possibly be. My future dreams are to bring awareness in painting as a valid everlasting medium of expression in the twenty-first century and on. This fascinating vehicle to transmit one’s message to the world should be cherished especially being one of last tangible art forms in our digital era. With all these concepts in mind I wish to continue a legacy of traditional and contemporary realism by means of expanding out via social media, teach painting workshops world-wide and continue to grow in the art field. One day I wish to open an ARC Approved Atelier of my own in Argentina where my roots are from, so that I can expand the knowledge of atelier training to the far reaches of the world.
