I
feel a demand to look for the mysteries of our origins, where past and present meet....and
if in my life as a painter I can stir just one person and change their conscience, I will
consider my mission fulfilled.
Pereda draws from the universes of memory-
from the memory of traditions that give way to her most subtle feelings and senses. Hers is a world that rotates and which is stamped
with footprints, of beings that are at the same time miniscule yet strong. Her paintings enlighten those who immerse in its
rich pigmentation of grays, ocres, and subtle yellows.
Pereda has recently exhibited in Buenos Aires, New
York and the Bay Area. Her works are in the
collections of the Museo de Arte Contemporano, Buenos Aires, University of Texas, Austin
and the Argentine Embassy, Washington, D.C.
