About this artwork
Walking through the streets of my neighborhood I found an abandoned kitten in very poor health.
I decided to take him to a veterinarian so he could assist him immediately and give me some guidance on how to get him out of that state.
After examination and clinical analysis, he was diagnosed with anemia, very low weight, carcinoma in his throat that prevents him from eating properly, and finally, he is a carrier… of the Feline HIV virus, which does not allow him to defend himself against any illness.
I made the decision to accompany him to the end.
After 6 months of loving and dedicated care, Simba is a symbol of resilience and enjoys the sun to the fullest every morning and is my inseparable companion.

Credentials
- Featured in gallery curations
- Works on commission
I practiced different disciplines of painting and sculpture in my watercolorist mother's workshop throughout my teenage years.
In 1974, she moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to work in a family business. In 2002, her work in the hotel industry took her to Machu Picchu, Cusco, Peru, alternating with trips to the Amazon rainforest and Lima. She returned to Buenos Aires in 2019, where she studied Fine Arts and began a sustained production of oil paintings on canvas, exploring different styles and materials. Between 2023 and 2025, she participated in several group exhibitions in Buenos Aires, Paris, Amsterdam, and Punta del Este, Uruguay.
