Sister ofGustavo Grobocopatel. Gabriela Grobocopatel's profound love for her hometown has helped her create a personal iconography based on the collection of images captured daily while living and going around the fields of CarlosCasares. Her deep perceptionof all these places is shown naturally in her artwork, which reflects the stories ofher cultural ancestors clearly representingher home lands. She certainly knows that the ground we step on has thousands of stories to tel. The use of cartogra- phies of the region as background in her art pieces has made her treasure the history ofthe territory. Besides, she has chosen to add certain elements that are characteristic of the Pampa Plains: wire fences, cardoon, mills, posts... All these elements she uses in her art to tell her own experiences through sym- bols. Note the absence of people in her paintings however so present ni the fields, the mills and the huge plains impossible to be covered by the look of the eyes. The map of forts, for instance, representsoriginally wild areas upon which the town has found- ed, nowadays totally changed as culture has evolved. The plains, land of the immi- grant, where sunsets belong to all and the cool of the morning awakes an ever-creative community, have Gabriela to translate into artwork part of the eerie metaphysics of this huge surface. In her new series of works, the infinite horizon, metaphysical, dis- tur-bing, vertiginous, of the Pampas, is the axis that calls the spectator.
