Artist Reviews:
Formaiano´s output has the
exhuberance and power of Walt
Whitman´s poetry. His men are
golden, vital, dynamic. The
bodies are as beautifully
drawn as they are painted, in
vivid hues.
Alfredo Cernadas Quesada, The
Buenos Aires Herald, November
2002

painting and an infinity ...

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I became an artist as the result of the exploration of my inner self. Following an emotional crisis, I found relief in creating and recreating worlds, stories and dreams in a canvas. In a way, becoming an artist and having a profession like mine favoured my interest and training as an art therapist. Today I can say that the three make up for a perfect triangle which gave my life a new meaning. |

| Your Personal Biography |
I currently have my own private practice as a Psychologist and as an Art Therapist and for the past three years I have been coordinating Art Therapy workshops for HIV+/AIDS patients in the city of Buenos Aires besides coordinating the Art Therapy Department at the Carl G. Jung Foundation of Argentina, where I also teach. I am also one of the founding members of the Argentine Art Therapy Association. Besides working with hiv+ people as an art therapist, I have also experienced working with psychotic patients and people with Parkinson's disease. I have managed to have my own radio programme on the internet, which provides an hour of relax where I can let all worries go and simply enjoy myself. |
