I grew up in Chilecito, La Rioja, where my first drawings and compositions appeared. In this arid city surrounded by mountains, I studied music, beekeeping, attended the Visual Arts faculty as a listener, and I got closer to contemporary art by observing Alicia Alba, my mother.
After finishing high school, she moved to Buenos Aires to study a Degree in Audiovisual at the National University of Lanús. When I arrived in Buenos Aires, I obtained the ProyectArte Scholarship, intense teaching with high-level artists such as Ernesto Pesce, Dolores Casares, Jorge Gonzalez Perrín and Leonel Luna.
From 2012 to 2017 I worked as an assistant to the photographer Jorge Roiger, and to the painters: Daniel Corvino and Eugenio Cuttica.
In the Master of Electronic Arts at National University Tres de Febrero. I developed a research on the use of minerals in Electronic Arts. I am part of the Subaltern Geopoetics Laboratory at UNTreF, I'm also part of the research group "BioJuego: Antropocene here and now".
I had the opportunity to exhibit my work in different festivals and art galleries national and international, including the Tres de Febrero National University Museum, Centro Cultural Recoleta, Centro Cultural Borges in Buenos Aires; National University of La Rioja in La Rioja; at the Zero1 des Arts Numeriques Festival in La Rochelle, France; the David Rockefeller Center for LatinAmerican Art in Boston, USA; the FreePort Art Museum, Illinois, USA.

Statement
Man as a module inside a complex and infinite system.
Man from his most simple aspect, his cycles and processes, his thoughts, and the situations that stand in his way and that he must solve, analyzing the obstacles, but always "calmly active and actively calm" (Paramahansa Yogananda)
The whole society as a reflection of each individual. The crowds move as if following a choreography, they divide, compress and disperse. This mass of people, objects and thoughts, generate noise, eternal murmurs. Just as the whole is nothing ... the noise is transforms into silence by opposition.
