I like doing the things I can't. Challenging the idea of what's possible and learning through this process the skills required to do so. That's a simple reflection of my art.
About:
Born and raised in Argentina, drawing became -as a kid- my happy place. A space where I could create entire universes from anywhere. All I needed was a pencil and any kind of paper.
I learned by copying whatever I was interested in.
The first "big theme" I dived deep was Dragon Ball Z, I used to watch that with my father.
The encounter with how hard it felt to draw hands gave me the principle that would shape the rest of my career: the moment I hit something I couldn't do, my attention shifted entirely into that thing until I could. Hands on desk focus, studying and practicing the hard things first.
As a self taught artist, that obsession to master the challenges along the way to the best of my capabilities has been my most reliable "asset".
My art has evolved since, taking many shapes and forms, exploring multiple domains and techniques.
Now, I aim to create images that carry a sense of weight, capable to evoque emotions.
Mostly shaped by mythology, archetypes, places, cultures and this quiet tension between strength and sensitivity, guided by a deep curiosity for the unknown.
I’ve worked as a professional tattoo artist for nearly two decades, translating personal stories into intentional visual narratives. Alignment, emotion, and meaning have always been the fuel.
Everything converged when I discovered Art Nouveau -somewhere between 2018 & 2019- a discipline where structure and elegance coexist.
It became the natural ground where all I had learned and practiced throughout the years could breathe. Seeking the contrasting balance between detailed complexity vs clear emptiness.
If a design serves a purpose and intention aligns, I'm happy.
However, it is a lifelong refinement. I won't ever stop.
Welcome to my world.
