I was born in Argentina, in the province of Buenos Aires, in a small town called San José de los Lobos, in 1957. Years later I realized that my obsession and taste for including horses in my work were not casual, but part of the roots of this deeply rooted horse-loving town.
The cultural shock I experienced when I moved to Colombia in 1966 deepened my need to paint and draw. This led me to study in several art institutes in the city of Pereira. It was there where I consolidated the idea of making painting a profession. After sharing with professional painters, first as a student, I decided to move to Bogota, a city that offered me the opportunity to expand my knowledge.
I studied graphic arts with professors of great relevance worldwide, and I began to develop the theme that today distinguishes my work: horses, the relationship between human beings and nature, and the human essence in its different aspects. The graphic arts brought to my painting a distinctive stamp: the superimposition of layers, the use of stencils and obstacles to reserve spaces, generating a chromatic and figurative richness that gives my paintings a movement and a very particular diversity.
Color came with my trips to the Caribbean. The contrast between the ochres of the mountains and the glowing Caribbean colors transformed my monochrome drawings and prints into vibrant paintings.
My work, which has been recognized with some awards and mentions, has been exhibited in several countries. I continue to develop it prolifically between my workshops in Bogota and Puerto Rico, where I live and work.
