At the end of my studies in Art History and passing through the Prado Museum as my first work experience, I changed course and launched into entrepreneurship. Art never abandoned me, but enriched everything that started. Immersive experiences have always motivated me, organizing plastic art exhibitions accompanied by music programming, literary presentations, debates; in short, out-of-the-ordinary meetings where culture flows freely.

“Rituals, Rites”
(In Spanish)
Rituales, Ritos
Conscientes o inconscientes, individuales o colectivos los ritos han sido una constante en la historia de la raza humana. Este conjunto de reglas, gestos, son establecidas por un grupo de personas o una comunidad. La liturgia con la que se precede un acto, se desarrolla, se concluye, se invoca, se ahuyenta …

Interview with Verónica Paredes
1. How and when is your passion for art born?
Well, I do not think it was a precise moment, I think it is something that you bring from a young age, I always remember feeling encouraged by certain things through drawing or the pleasure of seeing details in images or in anything.
MIA Anywhere, in collaboration with Plataforma ArtBase are proud to showcase in virtual reality, the exhibition “The Fantastic Female Construction”, with the work of Ángela Arziniaga, Daniela Edburg, Eugenia Couoh and Verónica Paredes.
Self-taught, she began her career as an artist while studying Philosophy at the University of Buenos Aires. Her figurative painting has been linked from the beginning to a process of writing and analysis of both philosophical and biological concepts. Her work unfolds primarily between the spaces of painting and drawing. She has exhibited her work in Argentina and in the United States. She currently lives and works in Miami.
Our Museum keeps going. Art teaches us the value beyond matter, beyond what we see, what is behind art is pure poetry.

While the range of themes of “Female Lenses for Art Activism” reaches far and wide, the artists intersect in their multi-layered and multi-faceted artistic practice. The artists on show deal with pressing issues and offer a female lens with which to view these. Consciousness, ancestry, sustainability, mental health, technology, and energies are some of the topics the artists tackle. But while their topics hardly intersect, their savvy artistic skill does. All these women show their work in unique multi-disciplinary ways that combine and remix forms to create work that demands to be seen. The urgency of their work urges us to see these artists as activists, for they are both pushing forth their female lenses with pride while also tackling pressing issues we must acknowledge and observe in our contemporary society.
El siglo XX fue una centuria convulsa y preñada de cambios, de grandes revoluciones sociales y económicas cuyo contrapeso fue la proliferación de dictaduras que intentaban poner freno a unas libertades lentamente conquistadas ligadas a la consecución de sociedades más justas, igualitarias, y con un mayor reparto de la riqueza. Uno de los movimientos sociales heredados del siglo XIX y que a lo largo de este período empezaba a ponerse en práctica era el feminismo. Desde la demanda de las mujeres a acceder a la educación primaria y secundaria -más adelante también la superior-, hasta cambios en una legislación que se basaba en una presunta superioridad de los varones y que concebía a las mujeres como permanentes menores de edad. Otra de las exigencias básicas del siglo fue la reivindicación del derecho al voto.
