Profile
My name is Pamela Zerbo, I am 45 years old, I love it when the wind blows in my face or a wave rolls over me in the sea.
I love the smell of the lime trees, they remind me of my summers in Mar del Plata, my grandmother's skin and my great-grandmother's nagging when she had to sweep the pavement.
When I was a teenager I wanted to be an actress, so my mum and dad sent me to study... something else.
I chose scenography, which had to do with theatre, and I never acted again, I was trapped by the behind-the-scenes work. I entered the School of Fine Arts to study painting but my first engraving class drastically changed my choice.
I worked in film "La herencia" by Paula Hernández; theatre "Chiquititas" Telefé; television "El libro gordo de Petete" Telefé and corporate events, Weber, Citibank, HSBC, MasterCard, Fiat.
I teach art classes for children and adults, and since 2006 I work as a printmaking teacher at the UNA.
I love giving classes and being absorbed in the moment of creation of the students, moments where time stands still and magic happens.
I am grateful to all the teachers I had, each one of them formed me and gave me a learning experience.
I participated in several collective exhibitions, "Aproximaciones" MAMBA, "Maquetas 2000" Bs. Design, "Improntas" UNLA, Argentine Embassy in Paraguay, "Profesores en su tinta" CEAC La casona de los Olivera. During the last year, "Arte impreso", Espacio La Ventana, Colegio Mater ter admirabilis, collective exhibition of engraving. "Catedrales", Gefarh Gallery, individual exhibition of drawing and collage.
The fact that we are still living situations and behaviours of antiquity, we are still slaves of the power in power, overcrowded without drinking water and mud streets as in the Middle Ages, we have lost the honour, the values, the fun and the rapture, questions me.
Everything I feel that concerns us as a society I put into my drawings, my engravings, and I try to incorporate it into my daily life. I believe that there can be art without teachers but not teachers without art.
