Flo Giovanni Pacini

​

I am a Latin American painter based in New York City.

My work explores the unseen forces that shape life — gravity, ancestry, and the wisdom of the earth. I paint what cannot be fully named, but can be deeply felt.

Born in Argentina, I studied Image and Sound Design at the University of Buenos Aires. For ten years, I worked behind the scenes in creative offices — producing, organizing, and supporting others — but always painted in secret until I surrendered fully to art. Largely self-directed, I sought mentorship and workshops in Argentina and Europe, absorbing fragments of classical traditions to forge my own approach. Time in the studio of Lula Mari instilled painting as a way of life, and I now deepen my training at the Grand Central Atelier in New York.

My practice is rooted in what I call W@nder — a blend of wonder and wandering. My paintings trace entanglements between humans and nature, body and spirit, dream and ancestry. They are layered, sensual, and inhabited by feminine archetypes, animal familiars, and moments of psychic transformation.

My work has been exhibited internationally in museums, galleries, and cultural spaces, including:

• Museo de Artes Plásticas Eduardo Sívori (Buenos Aires), 1st Prize at the Young Salon
   

• Museo Quinquela Martín (La Boca, Buenos Aires)
   

• The Argentine Embassy in Berlin
   

• Space 776 Gallery (New York, solo show 2024)
   

• Art Basel Miami (Virtual Reality section, 2022)
   

• Queens Council on the Arts – Latinismo Art & Education Exhibition (NYC, 2025)
   

• Salmagundi Club (New York, 3rd Prize, 2025)
   

Alongside painting, I lead community drawing workshops that foster attunement, perception, and imagination. I believe in painting as survival — and as a way of listening to what cannot yet be spoken.
