KARIN BEHOCARAY
Karin Behocaray is a dyslexic artist from Argentina who was diagnosed as an adult. Karin has always been connected to art and enjoys experimenting with different techniques. When she was younger, she never felt comfortable in the school environment, considering herself unintelligent compared to her classmates. Today, she considers herself self-taught in everything she does. Karin is pursuing secondary education with the help of her educational psychologist because the school does not have support for people with dyslexia. She has painted, drawn, and sculpted, but nowadays she mostly paints with coffee or wine.

"CRUCIFICATION" OF DYSLEXICS
Using coffee, the artist creates an image that leads her to establish a conversation between dyslexia and the suffering of Christ. On the one hand, there is an analogy between the pain of the steps of the Son of God and the difficulties and prejudice faced by those with the disorder; the image also points to "love" as a form of redemption. The image addresses the issue from the perspective that looking at the world from a different point of view generates noise and constitutes a permanent challenge.

I am a dyslexic artist, diagnosed as an adult. I am self-taught in everything I do. I am doing my secondary education online, with adaptations from my educational psychologist, because the school doesn't have adaptations for dyslexics. When I was diagnosed, I understood why I painted, drew, sculpted, and created new techniques without having studied. I was always creating or developing cutting-edge techniques or products. I believe that wherever a dyslexic person puts their hand, they put their creativity. I paint with coffee and wine in most of my works. I have a café with my children, decorated with walls alluding to dyslexia, and all the art I create, I create as an extension of my dyslexia.
