South American artist and social psychologist currently residing in Iceland.
In my work I seek to connect and strengthen community ties through art.
Since 2008 I began my path in physical theater, projects that combine art and community, illustrated books, poetry, puppet theater, recycled art and cultural management.
Since my arrival in Iceland in 2019, in addition to continuing to develop art forms and workshops for children, I have had experience in tourism related work.
