My Exhibitions:

I was once again able to show three of my works to the Argentine public, this time in Recoleta, Buenos Aires. Many thanks again to Carlos Eduardo Vera, @EspacioDeArteSophie, for the invitation to participate in this wonderful event at a unique and welcoming location in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for a month.

Three paintings were on display: a portrait “JUST A DAD WITH HIS GIRLS”, in mixed media on a large canvas, and the oil portrait of FAYÇAL & SABRI. Very fitting was the painting, my cute “Girl”. I painted her in the traditional King’s Day clothing of Marken, a famous fishing village in the Netherlands. Coincidentally, the exhibition coincided with the national celebration of King’s Day in the Netherlands . Our Queen is the proud Argentine daughter, Máxima.

I participated with my Portugal , A BRIDGED WALL OF HOPE , ” Mind Matters ” Urban Art invited me to be part of the Abridged Wall of Hope , they  continued this journey of using art to raise awareness for universal causes.

The theme was “Mind Matters”, expanding theconversation to explore how mental, emotional, and intellectual landscapes shape our rights, struggles, and identities. As always, the artists participation is essential in to bring this type of theme to life.

The event unfolded  in two phases. First, an ephemeral exhibition at MIMA, Museu da Mulher (Women’s Museum) in Lisbon, Portugal, followed by the reinstallation of the same works in the open-air gallery on Rua de Marombeira in Lagos, Portugal . My multimedia sketch “Friendship,” because that can represent a very important emotion in someone’s healing process.Mixed Media Sketch ” FRIENDSHIP “

With three very different Abstract Collages i had the marvelous chance to be expose my work in the VAN DER PLAS GALLERY in NEW YORK and as you can see they hang at first rang !


” SPEED ” is painted in acrylic paint on canvas and was published on the Art page in the world-renowned House & Garden magazine , which focuses on interior design, entertaining, and gardening, as it began in the US in 1901. ” SPEED ” was inspired by a photo that the famous painter Ashley Longshore had posted on her Instagram in connection with Father’s Day. Later, this painting found its way to him, Spencer Longshore, in America.

As you can see, this exhibition in a suburb of Paris , in Saint-Remy-Les-Chevreuse , was particularly successful, not least because of the idea of ​​having lunch with the artists amidst our very diverse artworks, and later jazz music that enhanced the atmosphere even further.

” FARAH, an Iranian Woman “, is recognizable in the photo because this time the theme revolved around International Women’s Day, through which I wanted to express all facets of womanhood. This time the exhibition was in Burnos Aires, Lobos, Argentina, and was once again fantastically curated, no less by the always extremely attentive Carlos Vera.
