The beginnings
 
“If it was raining, we could not get out of the farm because it was very far from Mercedes –Corrientes- As I was pregnant, I went to Buenos Aires and begin painting. Then everything started”

How did you turn into a naïf painter?
”I do not know. I did not know that I was a naïf painter until María Teresa Solá, my marchand, told me. But it is important to feel that you are a painter: it does not matter which style do you practice”.
