About the Item
I was born in Martínez, in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, on March 16, 1971. I am the Sun in Pisces, the Moon in Scorpio and ascendant in Cancer. Younger daughter. Lover of family life and animals.
My primary studies begin in a nun's college for young ladies. I never adjust and in 6th grade I ask my parents to move me to a coeducational school across the street from my house. I finish high school there, and start studying Advertising at the Foundation for Higher Studies in Commercial Sciences. In January 1992 my father died in our house in a tragic event. We moved with my sister and my mother to an apartment. That same year I began to work in different activities related to Advertising. I get a job in an Advertising agency and work in agencies for the next ten years. In the meantime, I buy myself my first professional camera. I study black and white photography, and camera management with Fernando González Casanuevas. I leave agencies forever to dedicate myself professionally to advertising photography. I work in a major studio, incorporating the professional use of studio lighting and film development. I do a color photography workshop with Alberto Goldestein. I open a photography studio. Study with Marcos López and the possibility of doing a workshop with Humberto Rivas. I discover photography as a means of expression. The work in progress of Grandes Mujeres begins.
I did my first solo show in 2004: Great Women photographic portraits of older women in their daily surroundings, curated by Juan Travnik, March 2004, Photo Gallery of the San Martín Theater.
Before the show ends, I get pregnant with twins. And at the beginning of December 2004, Pedro and Félix were born. At the age of 3 he presented Almas Gemelas photographic portraits and documentary film of twin brothers and sisters of all ages curated by Clelia Taricco, 2007 at the Recoleta Cultural Center.
During the following years, I visit a town called Lima weekly, located 100 kilometers from the city of Buenos Aires, and where one of the most important nuclear power plants in the country is built. My children were between 4 and 5 years old, immersed in a childhood world full of fictions and fantasies that lead me to my own childhood. Surreal images inspired by people's stories and their own fantasies. I present Lima, kilometer 100 at the Recoleta Cultural Center, 2010. I am lucky to meet Gustavo Santaolalla, who writes and publishes the book with his Retina imprint.
After two years I work, this time, on my own story. I narrate my father's death in dialogue with religious beliefs. I rescue original slides of my father intervened by biblical passages in large images, experimental videos and small sculptures.
During the next 4 years he developed an ambitious project: Photographing portraits, and recording in a documentary film the most important plastic and visual artists in the country, over 65 years old in the country and abroad. Presents Teachers, the forest and the tree , 112 portraits and documentary film at the National Museum of Fine Arts, 2016. Director: Andrés Duprat.
Since 2016 I have been working on the Argentina Afro project .Thanks to the support of the Foreign Ministry and the embassies, during 2019 I presented videos, installations and images in South Africa, Mozambique and Nigeria.
I am currently working on this project.

Helene and Eric Bess are a team who have been collaborating for over 20 years. Both are professional artists with extensive experience in both the commercial and fine art fields. They presently work out of their studio in Florida, creating original art for gallery display, fine art crafts and taking commissions for murals & embellishments.
Helene was born in Canada in 1949. She studied art in Europe as a young adult and attended Phoenix Pratt School of Design in New York and St. Petersburg Community College in Florida. She worked for advertising agencies and freelance art projects such as theater design and t-shirt designs for several companies. She owned and operated an art studio (“Artistic Endeavors”) in Melbourne, Fl. for five years. She started doing murals and embellishments (residential and commercial) from 1992 till present. She considers her early life in Europe the major source of her artistic influence as well as the works of Modigliani.
Eric was born in Missouri in 1950. He started drawing literally as an infant and has never stopped. He was taking commissions for book covers & wall designs in his teens and studied art at Auburn University and The University of Alabama. He taught art in public schools in Alabama in the ‘70s.

By John Casado
Located in Burlingame, CA
An indication that we have entered a new era of creativity, are the photographs of John Casado. “His nudes reveal new attitudes and visions that stamp him firmly as an artist who differs from his predecessors of the past 170 years. In the past two centuries, the nude has evolved slowly, but there is now a decided change.” David Leddick...
