In the artist's own words, her painting "is based on the slogans of constructivism, at first Americanist and later more inclined to geometry". In this work she develops an abstract language based on an irregular and organic geometry, both in the layout and in the chromatic palette. The composition is conceived as an open space, without limits or visual hierarchies, where each element dialogues freely with the whole.
The pictorial forms are born from a delicate balance between reflection and experimentation. His gestural character transcends the merely compositional to become suggestion, idea and emotion, inviting the viewer to go beyond the surface of the work and enter into an open and intuitive visual experience.
Although he initially began studying law, he soon turned his vocation towards art. He took a postgraduate course in Sculpture at the Escuela Nacional de Buenos Aires Prilidiano Pueyrredón and trained as a teacher of Fine Arts at the same institution. He later expanded his training in the workshops of prominent artists such as Ernesto Pesce, Adolfo Nigro, Alberto Delmonte, Jorge Gamarra and Julian Agosta.
Throughout his career he has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in international venues such as the Settemari Gallery in Punta del Este, the Forma Gallery, the British Art Council, the Cremolatta Gallery in Miami, the San Diego Art Fair, the Sala Dalmau in Barcelona and the Museum of American Art in Uruguay, among others. Likewise, his work has been recognized with important distinctions, among them the First Prize of the National Library, the First Prize of the SAAP Salon of the Museum of Modern Art and the First Prize of Sculpture of the Salon of Plastic Artists of San Isidro.
