I use art as a tool for transforming people and places.

Piedrabuenarte Cultural Center
I was born in 1984 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. From a very young age, art was present in my life; I drew all the time and everywhere. For a long time, it was my great hobby, and over the years it became the foundation of the trades I would develop later.
My childhood was spent between two opposing worlds: the hustle and bustle of the city of Buenos Aires and the calm of the landscapes of San Luis.
During my adolescence I also began to explore urban drawing and portraits, and I moved to the Comandante Luis Piedrabuena neighborhood in Buenos Aires.
The imposing, monumental, and futuristic architecture of this neighborhood impressed me and became my greatest source of inspiration. I began to portray it in drawings, paintings, murals, sculptures, and models; this was the first connection between my surroundings and my art.
In 2006, at the age of 22, I began the artistic transformation of the Piedrabuena neighborhood. In that context, I co-founded the Piedrabuenarte Cultural Center , a multidisciplinary art project, from where I created more than 60 murals, many of them large-scale, transforming the neighborhood.
This created a cultural landmark in the city and an open-air art gallery, transforming the neighborhood from a police blotter to a cultural sensation, with dozens of tourists becoming a common sight. Simultaneously, I began developing my skills as a lettering artist and tattoo artist, expanding my artistic expression.
Boedo Artistic Group
In 2012, at the age of 28, I co-founded the Boedo Artistic Group , a muralist group created to represent the cultural identity of the neighborhood and the San Lorenzo de Almagro Athletic Club .
I started as the group's muralist and was able to train the rest of the team in the craft and large-scale art. Together we created more than 170 works : portraits of football and cultural legends, historical photos, and depictions of pivotal moments.
In this group, I was able to develop and experiment with diverse techniques and aesthetics. This experience also allowed me to take my art to various countries in Latin America and Europe. During this period, I trained in the traditional art of Fileteado Porteño under the guidance of master fileteador José Espinosa, and I also began to explore the art of Catalan Trencadís , a technique with which I created more than 15 ceramic murals.

I want to take trencadís art to a new modernist stage, where the places I inhabit are the driving force of the work.
I am deeply inspired by the places where I live - their history, their identity, their architecture - and it is from there that I build each work.
Present
Today, with over 20 years of experience and more than 500 works spread across different parts of the world—including over 300 large-scale murals and small-format pieces—I develop my art from Badalona and Boedo. My current collections explore the identity of the territories that are part of my personal journey: Badalona, Catalonia, Gaudí, and Boedo.
My vision is to take trencadís art to a new modernist stage, where the places I inhabit are the driving force of the work.
