Biography
Ariadna Pastorini (Montevideo, 1965) was part of the artists that formed the 1990s artistic scene in Buenos Aires, when Jorge Gumier Maier created the gallery of the C. C. Rojas. There, a group of artists emerged, with an aesthetics that was closed to the kitsch movement, a likeness for ornamentation and experimentation using different materials. Pastorini has worked, since then, using sewed fabrics.
Such line is now in an opening point, which becomes evident when seeing several areas of the fashion design as it gets near to the sculpture field and objectual art. These are manifestations of what might be called as “Soft art”, producing images where the organic prevails, establishing a dialogue with the viewer that is a kind of ‘warm’ communication.
