Her work stems from a methodic, affective admiration of nature from which she extracts an aesthetic sense. Besides being an artist, she has a medical formation that follows into an assessment of biological processes and the knowledge of human intervention in them. So her work is also presented as an aesthetic meditation on &#8220;the organic&#8221; and its most immediate connotations: life, nature, harmony, performance. Through compositions, installations, prints and assemblages, the artist builds &#8220;hybrid objects&#8221; where a complex play of duality takes place: plastic and vegetable, cultural and natural, ephemeral and perennial. In words of the artist: &#8220;I think the action of creating art pieces with them transforms these materials apparently insignificant into pieces for contemplation and integrates into a single work of art the principle of life: destruction and rebirth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a onClick=\"xcollapse('X8058');return false;\" href=\"#\">Curriculum Vitae<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"X8058\" style=\"display: none; background: transparent;\">\nBirth Place: Ensenada, B.C.N.
