Artwork location: United States

Created during and inspired by Covid-19 pandemia. Like a musician playing by ear and improvising as he goes, my art begins not with cautious preliminary sketches but working directly on the chosen surface and completing a work in one sitting. When I begin, I never know what will manifest itself. I start by doodling and when I feel as though things are happening, I follow. Whatever is in my mind has to go through my arm, my hand, so to avoid interference I choose materials that let me work quickly. When finished, I don't go back and re-work it. This approach allows a more spontaneous and intuitive way of creating art.

Ready to Hang: Yes. Signature Location: bottom right.

He graduated as a Profesor Nacional de Bellas Artes from Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes “Prilidiano Pueyrredon" (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and studied Painting under the direction of the Surrealist painter Roberto Aizemberg developing Automatism as a means of creation.

Artist's Statement
“Like a musician playing by ear and improvising as he goes, my art begins not
with cautious preliminary sketches but working directly on the chosen surface
and completing a work in one sitting. When I begin, I never know what will
manifest itself. I start by doodling and when I feel as though things are
happening, I follow. I choose materials that let me work quickly. When
finished, I don't go back and re-work it. This approach allows a more
spontaneous and intuitive way of creating art.
My art has its roots in Latin American and European Surrealism, a movement
that believes art holds the key to unlock the inner workings of the mind, and
reveals aspects of the psyche otherwise hidden. Diverse recurrent symbols
appear in my work as manifestations of my life experiences, some of which are
closely related to my Latin American cultural heritage."
