Viviana is a consolidated presence in the contemporary Latin American art scene, with a global reach and deep ties to Argentine art. Viviana brings to the table her solid background as a visual artist, her vocation for nurturing the early careers of renowned artists of today, and her determination to approach the curatorial process with a solid and broad academic foundation, along with first-hand knowledge of the roles of the artist, the collector, the gallery owner, museums, fairs, biennials… the varied universe of art, which, as a living process, is constantly evolving and of which Viviana is a versatile protagonist.
