Born in 1965 in Montevideo
Educational Background
Graduated from the National School of Fine Arts – Workshop: Luis Ernesto Aroztegui Montevideo, 1987 – 1993
Every artistic creation has an origin, a trigger that has been born within or outside the artist, in the atmosphere around him, in the material he works with or in other and multiple situations and possibilities. Such initial inspiration, being the first step that leads the further process of shaping and depuration which gives place to the final piece, represents an unattainable process, which is hard to control.

Consequently, a rigorous working discipline, a permanent search and an incessant and tireless experimentation are required. Undoubtedly, when the artist finds his own trend, a path of work to maximise a style –with the connotations that this term implies-, identifiable as his own, is when the personality of both the work of art and of the artist himself is being forged, and it is also when the rough seam from where he takes the precious substance for his work is discovered.
