Alicia Dawidson
I am a visual artist, born in Argentina. I graduated from the P. Pueyrredón, School of Fine Arts and La Cárcova, a higher education teaching program. I completed my thesis at UNA (University of Art). I also completed postgraduate seminars at UNA in object painting, drawing, and printmaking.
I founded Escalera Caracol - Espacio de Arte in 2012, where I curate works for exhibitions, teach classes, organize film debates, and other cultural activities.
I have held numerous solo exhibitions in galleries, museums, and exhibitions in Buenos Aires and abroad.
More than 200 group exhibitions have been held in cultural centers and museums in Argentina and around the world.
Museums in Cuba, Japan, Peru, and Brazil hold my works.
I have received several awards in Drawing and Engraving in Buenos Aires.
Various Argentine art figures, artists, and curators have written about my work.
I currently continue to work in my private studio at the Espacio de Arte (Art Space), and teach classes in Drawing, Painting, and Work Monitoring.
Flights, givers of life (Nature in Action - 04/2025)
Our insects, with their most beautiful colors and those that give us the sweetest food, such as butterflies, bees, and light bugs, are disappearing…
It is a great concern that this is happening…
Pollinating insects are losing their life, and we are losing their presence.
Based on the proposal provided, the idea quickly came to me of making the objects using the stained glass technique along with beaten copper sheet, since they represent the beauty, transparency, fragility, and opacity we are talking about.
Glass gives us color, the transparency of light, along with fragility.
Copper sheeting is beautiful, but it has the opacity and hardness that represent the shock and the conscious gaze of the problem.
This concern challenges us; we are aware of it, and that is why we must take action to exercise the possibility of awareness in others.
Showing them in their splendor fosters the desire for their presence, so as not to forget them as beings who matter on planet Earth and are so necessary in the wheel of life.
