Crab, Tender, Casa Galpón, Spiders

This essay explores the intimate relationship between drawing, daily life, and the natural environment, reflecting on a series of sketches and watercolors that capture moments of personal experience. From the tidal shifts of Uruguay’s Rocha Lagoon, where stranded crabs were rescued and later studied through drawing, to the confinement of pandemic lockdowns in Argentina, where everyday objects like a drying rack became subjects of artistic observation—each image tells a story of connection and presence. The act of drawing extends to architectural explorations, as seen in the hand-drawn plans of "Casa Galpón," and to scientific curiosity, represented by magnified sketches of spiders found in a garden. Through these works, the essay highlights how drawing serves as both a method of understanding and a form of engagement with the world, blending personal history with artistic practice.
