My Story
"All artists are bohemians", ruled my parents before sentencing me to majoring on Graphic Design. Working on the field of the Arts was inconceivable. “You’ll starve“ they said.
But art was my passion and I couldn’t just give it up... It was physically impossible! Whenever I had a pencil in my hand, the world would turn into a canvas.
I persevered and taught myself illustration through practice and Photoshop with online tutorials. Soon enough, I’ve got my first job in the field, retouching photos and renders.
Since then, I never stopped working and learning.
Through the years, I had the pleasure of exploring most things I wanted: I drew manga, illustrated books, curated art shows at Centro Cultural Recoleta (Buenos Aires), recorded and edited videos, produced little animations, gave talks, taught workshops, worked for video game companies (both as a concept artist and an art director). I even took a tattoo apprenticeship, learned photography and painted graffiti in Argentina, the US and Europe!
In late 2012 I moved to the US. I was awarded with a Green Card based on my experience in the field of the Arts.
I’m currently an artist for the Chuck Jones Gallery, brand ambassador for Pentel of America and exhibited at the biggest popular culture events, such as New York Comic Con and San Diego Comic Con.
I keep on learning, and I’m now in the process of getting a college major in Advertising, and simultaneously becoming an Art Director at Miami Ad School. Oh, yeah, and I’m also taking Italian classes, because why not?
Am I a bohemian? I couldn’t say. All I know is: I’m not starving, and I’ve made it far beyond my dreams. And I keep going!
