After studying Letters and History which destined her to become a teacher, and once she obtained her diplomas, to respond to the vocation that had animated her since her childhood, she took plastic art courses at the National School of Fine Arts of Buenos Aires which she completed in Paris with a course in Art History at the Ecole du Louvre. An artistic journey followed by 30 years of outstanding exhibitions in galleries in France and Japan, participations in prestigious Parisian and international exhibitions in China and Japan and Korea, personal exhibitions, at the Senate, at the Carré de Coignard, Adekat gallery at the Japan, Galerie Atelier des Peintres du Marais Paris Center, at the Espace des Blancs Manteaux, as well as in many cities in France where she was received as Guest of Honor.
His resolutely contemporary work is part of the current of new figuration and brings, through the shapes and colors used, a new dynamic to the theme of Provence. His works are in private collections in France, United States, Japan, China, Korea and the Middle East.
"The work of Graciela Grimaldi is undoubtedly a poetic art which can only seduce us. Indeed, by a strong evocative power and thanks to his mastery of the color the artist reveals to us a rich and fertile imagination which transmits the quintessence of the place and takes us into an attractive Universe where Provence is sublimated, adding a surplus of soul, which makes his works go straight to our hearts and souls. Song of the Earth for some, ode to nature for others, what is certain is that Grimaldi's works still arouse as much enthusiasm among art lovers and collectors who come to each exhibition to discover the artist's latest creations and stock up on dreams and happiness. Without a doubt, Graciela Grimaldi's work is part of a timelessness that she knows how to use with mastery. " Patrice de la Perrière - Art Critic and Publishing Director of Univers des Arts magazine.
