ABOUT THE ARTIST:

“Why golf? Golf is action and reaction; it’s head and palette.  It’s observation and concentration.  It is an inner and outer landscape. Simply, MY Life, that goes between Golf and Art History; from living to teaching.”  Maria Jose Caceres, second generation of golfers, she grew up playing golf and the golf course became her art school.  Maria Jose has a degree in fine arts.  This Argentinean plastic artist and muralist painter has participated in several individual and collective art exhibitions, such as Arte Americas 2011 and the Hollywood Biennial.  She spends her days in Argentina teaching art, cultural management and her passion, creating her artwork.

“I record memories, anecdotes and lived experiences that since my childhood are related to golf. An inherited passion; my environment as the main source of information.”

“Golf in my life is my heritage, it is the union mixed with the warmth of my family and the melancholy of absences, it is the memory of my childhood, it is my landscape that unites past, present and future, it is my interior. Golf is part of me. An essence, is my fragrance. It is the memory of my father alive, of my family gathered talking about golf the whole day.”

“Art is for me a game (and because not the art of a game), is to develop intelligence through creativity, intuition and aesthetics. You have to paint what you know and then it will be infinite. Playing to create that is my favorite sport.”

– Maria Jose Caceres
