Biography

Born in Minas, Uruguay, he first came into contact, at the age of sixteen, with the ideas of the painter Joaquin Torres Garcia. Drawing, the principles of constructivism as a means of expression, the theory of colour and the Golden Section, were the basis of his primary formation. During this period of creative self-discovery, he published his poems in the books ?SEIS? and ?IR?.

He graduated as Primary Teacher and Professor of Art (drawing and design), teaching in both branches of the educational Uruguayan system, between 1968 and 1987.

He showed his work in both group and solo exhibitions, in different points of Uruguay and the Argentine and was a permanent artist in the collection of the Velazquez Gallery in Buenos Aires from 1974 to 1976, during which time he resided in the Argentine.

1980-1987 - In Montevideo, he established himself as a commercial designer with his own company.

He moved to New Jersey, USA and lived there from 1987 to 2003, where he continued to work in commercial design, and developed his own work as painter-engraver. He exhibited in solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions in Florida, New Jersey and New York. His regular visits to the great museums in New York, Washington D.C., Philadelphia and his travels to Europe enriched his artistic heritage. It all placed him in direct contact with his favourite contemporary artists, and offered lessons to be gleaned from the Impressionists and the great earlier masters.

In 2003, he settled on the Costa del Sol, captivated by the natural beauty of the area and the contact it offered with that Spanish culture that forms a great part of his artistic background. Since then he has participated in group exhibitions, held a number of solo exhibitions, and has been successful in several provincial contests.

His works are held in private collections in Australia, the United States, South America and Europe.
