Bio

I like to define myself as an artist whose base is painting. Painting anchors me and allows me to also experiment with other languages, ​​embarking on a path towards multidisciplinary work. In this way I find the possibility of playing with the abstract and the figurative through writing. I have recently experimented with artist books in small format, with their performative possibilities, and interaction with the public.

The origins of my artistic education are in Uruguay, the country where I was born. I trained mainly in artists’ workshops and independent institutions. As well, the education in economics led me to a frequent exercise in abstract thinking that is present in my work. Through these exercises, at the same time, the curiosity for the singular, for the detail lost in the search of what is general is awakened.

In 2017 I moved to Barcelona where I studied at Metáfora Studio Arts. Previously I went to workshops with Diego Piriz (in Casa Blanca school founded by Ignacio Iturria); Gabriela Acevedo; Sisto Pascale; among others.
