Argentine artist Peca is a painter, illustrator, and stop motion filmmaker. Her childhood in Argentina was marked by the brutality of the military dictatorship, from which she found refuge in music and painting. After studying fine arts in Buenos Aires, Peca moved to Barcelona in 2001, where she lives and works. Her creations are based on a dreamy and mystical aesthetic. Her works have been part of several group and solo exhibitions worldwide. In 2019 she collaborates with URBAN NATION for Project M/14.
The extra-galactic cosmos created by the artist is populated by peaceful creatures. Like Peca herself, the protagonists of her paintings share their knowledge and experiences with the viewer. The depicted scenes are excerpts from Peca’s dreams and visions that appear to her during her daily meditation. After a thorough contemplation, she transfers what she has experienced into painting using universal symbols, thus allowing the world to participate in her inner self.
