Sandra Bastida

Sandra Bastida was born in the autonomous city of Buenos Aires in February 1963 and has lived in the Argentinean Patagonia for three decades. She worked as a kindergarten teacher and social psychologist for the Ministry of the Province of Chubut. At the same time, she developed her craft as a painter. Her artistic education is not academic. For a decade she has attended painting workshops, courses and seminars with the plastic artist Verónica García. Drawing and human figure with the visual artist Ale Feijó. Watercolour at the Tanta Tinta Vlamidir Merchensky school. Master Class with Master Guillermo Roux. She is currently doing an art clinic of her artistic work with the visual artist and teacher Nicolás Menza. Since 2010 she has participated in group exhibitions. In 2019 in the city of Puerto Madryn she had her first solo exhibition where she presented the series “Mis Arcanas”. The following year he held a new solo exhibition “Presencias” at the Palacio Legislativo in the city of Puerto Madryn. During the years 2020 and 2021 he participated in different national and international artistic exhibitions “presential and virtual”. His paintings vindicate his critical view of social conflicts without resigning his immaterial and dreamlike world. In them we can see intuitive forms, simple strokes. Her mysterious, intentionally unfinished characters mimic dreams, they emerge in subdued colours, manifesting their strength and magical power, reflecting non-physical eyes, allowing the painter’s dreamy interior to be embodied.
