Inspiration

In some of my paintings I try to capture the essence of the urban landscape where I grew up. Buenos Aires, a colorful city that feels gray, confusing but organized at the same time. I invoke its endless buildings, rooftop TV antennas, water tanks and power lines that grow almost organically. Other times, I create architectural stories, fantastical buildings assembled like puzzle pieces become fascinating structures. Windows, stairs, balconies and doors inspire me to compose a geometrical symphony, where perspective intersects light and shadow. You are invited to explore my cityscapes.

Techniques

As an artist and urbanite, I enjoy exploring Urban Expressionism while working on my canvas with oil colors and just a spatula (or paint knife). Sometimes I’m deliberate and intentional, sketching perspective lines while drawing from my experience as an architect (no pun intended), or I can be fluid and spontaneous by randomly applying leftover colors to my next canvas. These techniques provide a starting point that sparks my imagination. The stained canvas talks to me while I work rescuing shapes and volumes that I feel are already there. As the images come into focus, a new story emerges.

Career Highlights

Started painting a few years after graduating from the University of Buenos Aires, School of Architecture.  Immigrated to the US to work at Disney Parks and Resorts for the next 20 years.  In November 2020 my "Sunrise" and "Gray City" paintings were featured in the Orlando Foundation for Architecture Art Show at the Orlando Museum of Art, where I was awarded the coveted People’s Choice Award. A month later I was also featured as the Central Florida Artist of the Week. More recently, I moved to Georgia to dedicate myself to art full-time.  This coming Holidays, and in collaboration with the Argentinian Consulate in Atlanta, my art will be featured as part of the decoration of the Christmas tree at the Fernbank Museum.
