I’m an American/Argentinian artist based in San Francisco. I studied fine art in Buenos Aires where I was majoring in sculpture before continuing mystudies at SF’s CityCollege.
My personal style has been influenced by architecture from the beginning. Many of my teachers at university had backgrounds in architecture, and some of my favorite artists, like Lebbeus Woods, started as architects themselves.
Living in San Francisco since 2020, I began to focus my art on transforming and re-contextualizing local architecture, collecting bit and pieces of buildings and homes from my surroundings, and collaging and paintingthem into new forms.
The abstraction of recognizable forms and symbols is a constant source of inspiration for my art. When I’m not doing that, I’m usually going for long walks around the city, or using my ice cream machine.
