Born in Argentina, currently in San Carlos de Bariloche.
- Studied Bachelor in socio-cultural Anthropology in the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). Currently works with independent art and graphic publicaciones and editorials and its scene in Argentina, examining the links between this artistic language and medium with political positioning, the social-political history of this medium and forms of social interacción and cooperation between the agents of this field.
- Self taught in arts. Focusing on exploring images through the practice of drawing, engaging on the marks, and alternative uses of materials. Translating what is discovered to other techniques such as painting and digital sculptres. The interest in making images parts from an interaction between ideas, materials and references. In this sistem, the work comes through as an interpretation from these interactions. By this, interpretetions are of a second or third order. This way of conceptualizing artistic work is influenced by Clifford Geertz theory of cultural interpretartion.
