Biography

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1974, and developed my artistic practice outside traditional academic frameworks. My early formation came through music and audiovisual work, where I built an intuitive understanding of rhythm, repetition, structure, and composition—principles that later became central to my visual language. I trained in audiovisual techniques and specialized in video, working for many years in multimedia production, broadcast television, and corporate communications. This professional path sharpened my technical skills and deepened my relationship with image construction, transformation, and sequencing. I received multiple industry recognitions during this period, including an Emmy Award, before gradually shifting my focus toward a fully independent visual art practice. A pivotal moment in this transition came while working on a documentary project about Argentine photographer Aldo Sessa. Encountering his abstract photographic work redirected my attention toward still images, light, texture, and form, and reaffirmed my interest in abstraction as a way to reveal hidden structures within the visible world. Since then, my work has centered on exploring patterns that connect the human body, nature, architecture, organic matter, and celestial phenomena. What began as a search for balance and symmetry evolved into a broader investigation of perception, repetition, and energy. Within this ongoing research, my Body Mandalas emerged as a signature body of work—photographic compositions that use the human figure as a living matrix for geometry and ritualized repetition. I have been based in Miami, Florida since 2001, working between the Americas and Europe.

Artist Statement

We are part of an immeasurable whole. From the atomic to the interstellar, from the fragile human body to the vast cosmos, our existence unfolds in both order and chaos. This awareness leads me to search for connections among forms, elements and energies that shape the visible and the invisible. At the center of this search are my Body Mandalas. Using the human figure as a living matrix, I create contemplative works that merge posture, light and movement into archetypal geometries. Each piece suggests unity and transformation, echoing sacred patterns while also reflecting the vulnerability and impermanence of the body itself. Over the years I have refined this language into a series that balances intricacy with immediacy, inviting the viewer into a contemplative space that resonates on both a visual and emotional level. Alongside these works, I also explore other manifestations of hidden order and expressive chaos —in nature, architecture, organic matter, light, liquids and celestial forms. Together these explorations form a practice that seeks to retrain perception: to discover the unseen within the visible, and to remind us that the act of creation is limitless.
