Mermaid Dreams is one of the ongoing projects that belong to Portraits
of a Muse.

I have found a lot of women that in one way or another had made an
impression in my life.

This project focuses in pregnant women, early and late states and
ages, their visions, their hopes, their fears and love.

Born in Concordia, Argentina, I was raised between structure and creativity—my father an engineer, my mother an artist. A nomadic childhood shaped my view of the world as emotional terrain. Influenced by Pictorialism, I use intentional camera movement, sculptural elements, and digital manipulation to create painterly, introspective landscapes. Now based in Wisconsin, I explore photography as a poetic medium—offering glimpses of the unseen and the possibilities of creation.
