memories from the Dawn

This series traces a return to the land 

where my earliest memories were formed, and where childhood still breathes beneath the soil.

I grew up in the Argentinian countryside, where my grandparents were caretakers.

Horses, sulky rides, fig trees, windmills, roots of fallen eucalyptuses, all these are not symbols, but fragments of past memories.

After thirty-five years, I returned, 

and what I found wasn't nostalgia, but recognition.

So I choose to work in charcoal and hyperrealism as memory fades

and images blur.

Consciousness remembers what the mind forgets.

These drawings are an attempt to hold on, to rescue what time dilutes, and to inhabit those moments again.

Each piece is a chain-link between past and present, memory and image, return and beginning.
