Macarena Olivera
Hometown: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Time in Japan: 6.5 years
Identity: Sculptor
Behind Maca is “Gorda” a huge paper mache sculpture that she made for the Isla de Salsa event in 2003. It now serves as an eye-catching maneki neko for El Taller in Akasaka where she teaches drawing, paper object making, and sculpture. Although she studied art formally, her teaching style at Tiempo Iberoamericano – El Taller is very hands on. There she helps students create art they hardly dare to imagine. 2F Able Akasaka, 1-5-2 Akasaka, Chuo-ku. Tel: 722-1650

マカレナの後ろに見えるのは2003年イスラ・デ・サルサの時に作られた紙と針金のオブジェ。この作品は彼女が絵画や紙のオブジェ、彫刻などを教えているエル・タジェール（ティエンポ・イベロアメリカーノ別館）の目印としても知られ、ぱっと目にとまる印象的な“招き猫”的存在だ。これまでに彼女は、学校などでアカデミックな美術の勉強をこなしてきたが、ここでは型にはまらない独自のスタイルで、生徒たちに美術の楽しさやテクニックを教えている。福岡市中央区赤坂1-5-2 エーブル赤坂2F/722-1650
