Oriana Casanova Praigrot
argentina
Oriana Casanova Praigrot was born in Buenos Aires in 1993. She is an audiovisual producer and writer with over ten years of experience in film, television, theater, festivals, and international productions, having worked in both Argentina and Spain.
Throughout her professional career, she has been involved in projects with the Complejo Teatral de Buenos Aires, Cirque du Soleil, Lollapalooza, Mediapro, the Málaga Film Festival, and various other cultural festivals. Alongside this, she embarked on a profound journey of personal and spiritual exploration, leading her to pursue training in astrology, tarot, and the Akashic records.
She has been writing since childhood. For years, she found in writing a refuge—a tool for understanding the experiences that shaped her life and a way to make sense of the questions that stayed with her. In *Si no es ahora* (“If Not Now”), she shares this quest for the first time through an intimate and personal novel.
BIO
WORK
Si no es ahora (If not now)
Oriana is born prematurely at six months, weighing barely a kilogram. As she fights to survive, her twin sister dies at birth—an absence that will leave an indelible mark on her life.
Years later, also grappling with the loss of her father, she sets off for Barcelona, hoping to build a new life. What begins as a simple relocation evolves into a profound journey of self-discovery, in which love, grief, spirituality, and intuition compel her to confront her deepest wounds.
Through a series of journeys, encounters, signs, and losses, Oriana pieces together her life story to understand what it truly means to be alive. *If Not Now* is an autobiographical novel about survival, identity, the search for meaning, and the courage to choose life—even when we don’t have all the answers.
