Solange merges her Political Science education with her artistic expression in the Visual Arts area. Her passion, photography, was inherited from her father when he gave her a Kodak Fiesta camera at 12 years old.
Solange revolves around family, memories, and emotions. She explores identities through family albums, intending to preserve the stories and places that get lost as time passes. She uses various techniques to construct the photographic images and invites the viewer to complete them.
She studied fine arts with renowned Argentine artists such as Ángela Copello, Lorena Fernández, Fabiana Barreda, Mariano Vilela, Francisca Kweitel, and Vivian Galbán.
Selected to be part of Yumi Goto's workshop "The Photobook as an Object," she gave form to her book "Memoria Imaginaria." From March to May 2020, she was part of the group of artists in residence in Arteles, Finland, during the COVID confinement. She was involved in #23 Artists survey: Artists in pandemic isolation: Finland, Argentine, Australia.
Solange was nominated to participate in Open Buenos Aires, and her oeuvre "A paper story" was selected to participate in FIG Bilbao 2022. She was shortlisted in XXXVII Salón Nacional de Artes Visuales, Azul, and nominated in VII AAMEC Contemporary Argentine Photography, taking place at the Museo Caraffa in Córdoba, Argentina.
Her work has been extensively exhibited in solo and group shows in Albi, France; Rome, Italy; Brisbane, Australia; Spain; Buenos Aires; Tucumán; Salta; Córdoba; Azul; and Mercedes in Argentina, obtaining several distinctions.
"Artists in Pandemic Isolation" was acquired by the State Library of Queensland, Brisbane (Australia). "Miniprints I, II, and III" were donated to form part of the private collection of the Port Authority in Santander, Spain. FIG Bilbao acquired her oeuvre "A paper story" to form part of their private collection.
