All of my multi-media art involves self-portraits in one form or another. I incorporate different sources of digital photography to create unique images. My art reflects what I think and feel and each project allows me greater self-knowledge. Through my work I find a passage to an idealized state of being; not as an escape per se, but rather seeking the promise of a world I aspire to live in. My hope is that the viewer also feels drawn to this altered state of reality and is confronted by the contrast of modern life versus my artistic ideal.

I grew up in Rosario, Argentina and discovered drawing at an early age. It developed into a passion that allowed me to explore my individuality. I was inspired by cartoon superheroes and the supernatural. I have always desired to create the ultimate superhero, one able to combat the superficiality and spiritual bankruptcy that permeates society today. While studying, Argentina suffered economic collapse. Like many others in my country, I decided to leave.

I landed in Miami, stayed there for 2 years, taught myself English , then came to New York City.

My work references classical mythology as well as religious iconography. I am influenced by dynamics images of popular culture.
