Cerrato's initial studies were in biochemistry, and science, art and spiritual practice became her lifelong pursuits. These interests are meld in a highly individualistic vocabulary of forms and images that are as grounded in the human unconscious as in the cosmos. Balancing her academic work in philosophy with an intense study of the mystic Gurdjieff's teachings on the evolution of consciousness, Cerrato's art and life signified the search for a higher consciousness. Intersecting with avant-garde movements in Argentina and Venezuela, Cerrato was associated with such male-dominated groups as the Centro de Arte y Comunicación (CAyC), El Techo de la Ballena [The Roof of the Whale] and Grupo Escombros [Rubble Group]. |
