Lucilla is a painter, educator, short film director, founder of IEPS (Poland). She works and researches upon the interpretation of artistic achievements, which arose from the need to investigate and understand tasks that are fulfilled through her own creative biography, and to create a series of paintings which extract an imaginarium of identity from the layers of archetypal forms of subconsciousness. Hermeneutics is used as the method of interpretation chiefly because it resembles in its nature the creative process and it is based on reaching into the hidden symbols and meanings in the pictorial image. Hermeneutics represents philosophical reflection which allows oneself to take distance. It also enables a distance needed for oneself to “give account of himself/herself” and form artistic self-interpretation.

The Latin America's Paris

Buenos Aires is Argentine Republic's capital city. With 15,000,000 inhabitants, it is one of the largest cities in Latin America and one of the 10 most populous urban centers in the world. Its cosmopolitan and urban character vibrates to the rhythm of a great cultural offer that includes monuments, churches, museums, art galleries, opera, music and theaters; squares, parks and gardens with old groves; characteristic neighborhoods; large shopping centers and fairs. Here we also find a very good lodging facilities, with accommodation ranging from hostels to five-star hotels of the main international chains. Buenos Aires also show off about its variety of restaurants with all the cuisines of the world, as well as to have cafes and flower kiosks on every corner.

A neighborhood founded on the Jesuit farms in the 17th century

We are located in Colegiales neighborhood where the tree-lined streets, some of which still have their original cobblestones, invite you to walk. Although the apartment buildings advance, low houses still predominate. It is a district of the city where about 20 TV production companies, design studios, artist workshops and the Rock&Pop radio have been located. The neighborhood also has six squares, one of which pays homage to Mafalda, the Flea Market, shops, restaurants and cafes like its neighboring Barrios de Palermo and Belgrano, with which it limits.
