Sobre el Artista


I was born in Buenos Aires. I got my BA in Psychology in 1990. My passion for art led me to become involved with different art workshops, until I found the Essentialism Art Research workshops of HeribertoZorrilla and Helena Distéfano, a space where I can unleash my creative needs. As an artist I´m interested in: trying new techniques, stepping out of the cliché, looking for my own aesthetic, and giving myself permission to express myself.
