Original artwork description:

Initially, I thought about one tanguero who dances with his trouser legs rolled up.
But as I started arranging the paper shapes, the rhythm of the dots and folds began to tell another story. The logic of the pattern suggested something resembling an apron — and suddenly, a woman appeared instead.

She is a tanguera: strong and self-contained, yet full of hidden rhythm. The world around her is built of geometry — rectangles, fragments, echoes of movement. Between the sharp edges and soft curves, tango is alive: restrained, minimal, yet unmistakably emotional.

This collage plays with contrasts — black and white, movement and pause, femininity and strength. Each piece of paper finds its place like a step in a dance, creating a composition that feels both spontaneous and carefully rehearsed.

🎨 Medium: Paper collage on cardboard
📐 Size: 29 × 41 cm (unframed) Framed size: 37 × 49 × 2 cm
🖋 Signed on the front
