HOW DOES MY ARGENTINIAN HERITAGE OPEN MY EYES TO THE BEAUTY OF THE CULTURES I SURROUND MYSELF WITH? MY SUSTAINED INVESTIGATION IS A SERIES OF OIL PAINTINGS THAT EXPLORES INDIVIDUAL CULTURES BELONGING TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY. THE WAY WE VIEW PEOPLE IS BASED ON OUR DIFFERENCES. THUS, MY WORK AIMS TO DEPICT MY APPRECIATION OF THE TRADITIONS THAT SHAPE THE PEOPLE I SURROUND MYSELF WITH IN RELATION TO MY OWN ARGENTINE CULTURE. THE INVESTIGATION IN ITS ENTIRETY PORTRAYS THE PROCESS OF HOW MY OWN CULTURAL IDENTITY INSPIRED MY ADMIRATION OF OTHERS AROUND ME.
¿CÓMO ME ABRE LOS OJOS MI HERENCIA ARGENTINA A LA BELLEZA DE LAS CULTURAS DE LAS QUE ME RODEO? MI INVESTIGACIÓN SOSTENIDA ES UNA SERIE DE PINTURAS AL ÓLEO QUE EXPLORA LAS CULTURAS INDIVIDUALES QUE PERTENECEN A MIS AMIGOS Y FAMILIARES. LA FORMA EN QUE VEMOS A LAS PERSONAS SE BASA EN NUESTRAS DIFERENCIAS. POR ESO, MI TRABAJO REPRESENTA MI APRECIO POR LAS TRADICIONES DE OTROS EN RELACIÓN CON MI PROPIA CULTURA ARGENTINA. LA INVESTIGACIÓN EN SU TOTALIDAD RETRATA EL PROCESO DE CÓMO MI PROPIA IDENTIDAD CULTURAL INSPIRÓ MI ADMIRACIÓN POR LOS QUE ME RODEABAN.
