Maitena was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
She's the sixth of seven siblings.
She's a self-educated artist.
In the 80´s she published erotic comic strips, in European magazines (such as Makoki magazine, from Barcelona) and in Argentina (Sex Humor, Fierro, Humor, and Cerdos &Peces).
She worked as an illustrator for newspapers and magazines in Argentina, and for several school texts publishers as well. She was also a TV script writer, she owned a mini market, a restaurant and a café.
Her first comic strip, Flo, was published in the journal "Tiempo Argentino", in Buenos Aires. These strips had been compiled and published by Ediciones de la Flor, under the title of …Y EN ESTE RINCON: LAS MUJERES (In English: "IN THIS CORNER: WOMEN").
In 1993 she was asked to publish a weekly comic strip in Para Ti, the most popular women magazine in Argentina. This is how started the well known comic strip "MUJERES ALTERADAS" (recently translated to English as “WOMEN ON THE EDGE”). This strip is being published today in different magazines and journals all over the world.
In 1999, WOMEN ON THE EDGE strips, get published in El Pais Semanal, the Sunday magazine of the journal EL PAIS, from Spain.
Since then, Maitena's art started to grow and became international.
The strips from WOMEN ON THE EDGE have been compiled in five volumes that now are beeing published in Spanish by Randomhouse Mondadori (in Spain and other Spanish speaking countries).
More than a million copies of Mujeres Alteradas books, have been already sold in Spanish language.
WOMEN ON THE EDGE books have been already translated into French, by Editions Metailie; Italian, by Mondadori; Portugues, by Presenca (in Portugal) and Rocco (in Brasil); Greek by Harlenic; Catalan, by Randomhouse Mondadori, and German, by Lappan Verlag.
From 1998 to 2003 the Argentinean journal La Nacion published Maitena's daily cartoon SUPERADAS (meaning “STRIVING WOMEN”). Nowadays these cartoons appear in different Argentinean journals such as LA VOZ DEL INTERIOR from Cordoba and LOS ANDES from Mendoza, and in several international publications as well.
These cartoons have been compiled in two volumes, under the titles of SUPERADAS 1, SUPERADAS 2. They´re published in Spanish by Ediciones de la Flor (Argentina) and RQR (SPAIN).
SUPERADAS has been translated into Catalan by Planeta, German by Ullstein, Dutch by Sirene, Portugues by Presenca in Portugal and Rocco in Brazil.
In June 2003 the Sunday magazine of the journal La Nacion started to publish Maitena's new work, “Dangerous Curves”.
