About

His maternal grandfather introduced him to art at a young age and connected him with artist Ángel Vieyra to learn the basics of colour and drawing.In 2001, he graduated from the Libero Pierini School of Fine Arts as a drawing and painting teacher.

During that period, he frequently travelled to Unquillo, Cordoba, to visit the master Carlos Alonso, who would be fundamental in consolidating aesthetic searches that would lead him to a path of assimilation of art from an essential commitment. He also exhibited his work and connected with artists like Luis Felipe Noé, Juan Carlos Lasser, and gallery owners Jorge Povarche and Coppa Oliver.

To date, he has held 23 individual and 70 collective exhibitions, notably:

• 2006: Inter-American Development Bank, Washington DC, USA
• 2008: Jaques Martínez Gallery, Buenos Aires
• 2019: Nag Art Gallery, Pietrasanta, Italy

His work centers on the human figure and biological structures, reflecting an existentialist perspective focusing on mortality.
