Artist Naná Gallardo marked her birthday on May 22 with a vibrant celebration at her Palermo Hollywood home, drawing approximately seventy close friends and family. The visual artist, who playfully avoided revealing her age, radiated creativity and contentment.
For me, one of the most special moments was seeing my goddaughter, Imán, and her boyfriend take over the consoles to play music.
Among the guests were notable figures such as Cora Reutemann, Verónica Santesteban, Laurencio Adot, Astrid Muñoz, and Fabián Zitta. Gallardo herself sported an original peacock feather fascinator she designed, inspired by the popular phrase “se me volaron todos los pájaros” (all my birds have flown), a sentiment she now identifies with.
The menu featured braised beef in Malbec, preceded by finger food. The evening's rhythm escalated with music and dancing that lasted into the early morning. Gallardo highlighted special moments, including her goddaughter and her boyfriend taking over the DJ consoles and her nephew Gabriel acting as her "unconditional right hand."
And I also want to mention my nephew Gabriel, today my unconditional right hand.
Gallardo, once the muse and life partner of the late artist Rogelio Polesello, for whom she managed his legacy, now navigates her own creative path. She described their intense relationship, recalling the challenge of organizing his vast body of work. "Pole was a mess. We were together a lifetime, I grew up with him," she said.
Pole was a mess. We were together a lifetime, I grew up with him.
Now, Gallardo embraces this new chapter with full confidence and independence. "I receive it surrounded by affection and, personally, very accompanied by myself. Today I enjoy full freedom, my space and my time, without the need to be completed by another person," she concluded.
I receive it surrounded by affection and, personally, very accompanied by myself. Today I enjoy full freedom, my space and my time, without the need to be completed by another person.
