ARTS PROJECTS
SKETCH CLUB
This project fosters a space for free expression, without judgment, where anyone can give impetus and gain confidence in their creative and artistic potential.
The Objective of the Sketch Club is to promote meetings and propose in each of them, different dynamics of drawing and painting in order for people to activate their creative potential, talk about it and celebrate it.
Since 2021, the activity has been carried out online through an application where you can only talk, plus a community created on telegram. This is how weekly activities have been developed, forming 1,600 members (and it continues to add) from all over the world and of different ages.
The dynamics vary, using different triggers from pictorial, interpretive, playful, creative, meditative, historical, etc. Agreeing with other disciplines such as music, poetry, stories, different literary genres, and the invitation of other artists and collaborators to add variety to these dynamics. ​ Finally the work is shared on telegram and there is a dialogue about it.
​
The content of said activity is recorded, therefore people with access to the application and the community can participate on a deferred basis and share their work with us at any time.
This project provides a space for free expression, without judgment, where anyone can give impetus and gain confidence in their creative and artistic potential.
At the same time it is a way to break the gap between art and the community that elitism could have established.

MIRADA DE MUJER
Conscious woman who through art looks at herself, with the purpose of transcending stereotypes and celebrating the encounter with her coherence.
​ The objective of Mirada de Mujer is to inspire and support creative women and emerging artists who wish to experience art as a means to look at themselves and transcend stereotypes, love and recognize themselves from love.
This project was the extension of a movement started in Argentina, whose dynamics developed in most of the cities of that country with a coordinator in charge.
The main support on which Mirada de Mujer Miami works is the female mannequin. Artistic production was addressed with various media and techniques to generate greater opportunities for expression and integration. Next, public spaces as well as private institutions were sought where to exhibit said project and thus reach the community.
In 2016, 19 artists of different ages and nationalities residing in the city of Miami were summoned. 16 of which managed to conclude the project and give a concept to their work.
In 2017, it was carried out with new and fewer members. Years later, the project and its participants received recognition from the city of Miami.

I SEE / YO VEO
The beauty that we are capable of evoking restores order and the sovereignty of our well-being. Art project with the purpose of evoking the power of resilience in adverse times.
In times of pandemic, the media and the excess of information on the networks unleashed fear and insecurity as a rebound effect.
​
It was vital for people to find a focus on beauty and creativity to sustain us through this situation and direct our attention to the positive sense of being alive.
​
Artists, in a certain way, had the advantage of navigating in our internal worlds to create, thus transporting us to a less fearsome reality, but people who were not cultivated in artistic disciplines did not have these tools.
I thought about sharing them and creating a therapeutic space for those who wanted to participate.
This project summoned its participants, people of all ages in all parts of the world, through networks, with the purpose of remembering their capacity for resilience throughout their lives, and the new virtues acquired from it.: HERE
