AG Noticias spoke with Patricia Queiruga, creator of the play Somos ADN. In the dialogue, she told what her source of inspiration was and how the work came to the Monumental Sierras Cinema Theater.
Patricia Queiruga is a medical surgeon. Today, she is presenting her art exhibition “we are DNA”, which mixes medicine with art. «This work was an evolutionary, gradual process. I think I was always in contact with art. Art always existed in my life, it was present. In fact, in medical school I studied and worked to make serigraphy.
«There were gradual changes, of state, where I felt that I needed to express myself in another way. At that time, the medicine was not giving me back what I needed, nor did I feel as useful. They were processes, episodes in which I got more in touch with art. And that’s how I got involved, until they wrote me an email from the United States to enter a contest, and later do an exhibition in New York.»
Patricia entered the Faculty of Art, where she continued her training. “I think now, I should name myself as visual artist, because it is more comprehensive. I take the technique, or the discipline, according to the message I want to convey in the work.»
«Alta Gracia gave me the space and the place too. I made a proposal that coincided with the anniversary of Manuel de Falla, so I made an intervention in the museum. I also did it in the Che Guevara museum. In quarantine, I did the play “We are vulnerable.” It’s about focusing on the people who went through this alone.”
