"Dance is a timeless expression of the human spirit, where the body serves as both the canvas and the brush, painting vivid stories in the space it inhabits. Each movement transforms intangible emotions and rhythms into a tangible art form, making dance the ultimate embodiment of creativity. Tango, in particular, exemplifies this connection—an intimate dialogue of trust and improvisation that tells stories of passion, longing, and connection.
Life is about curiosity—about asking questions and exploring possibilities. One of my favorite questions is, “What if?” While none of the grand masters painted tango, I wondered: What if Van Gogh had depicted a tango couple instead of peasants? What if Klimt had captured the tango embrace instead of The Kiss? Inspired by these questions, I reimagined a simple tango pose in the styles of different masters, celebrating both the timelessness of tango and the boundless creativity of art. When interpreted by visionaries like Gauguin, Mucha, or Matisse, tango transcends movement, becoming immortalized through color, texture, and form. Each artist’s style adds a new dimension, enriching the dance narrative.
Through this exploration, I invite viewers to experience the universality of artistic expression. Like visual art, dance reminds us that our bodies are dynamic canvases capable of conveying the full spectrum of human experience. This collection celebrates movement, curiosity, and the stories that connect us through art".
Over the Milonga is inspired by Mucha.
