About The Artwork

Inspiration: Using as a trigger the need to find a medium where I can express the situations that happened during my life, the plastic art gave me a means of expression, communication and creation, where I can represent each of my experiences. Horse in motion Collection: The collection tryes to represents the beauty of Horses through movements, taking into account the following main features: - The innate beauty of horses and how they blow my mind. - The attractive, fine and elegant movements of this breed that overlapped with the control of humans, produces and develop an activity that represents the perfect combination and understanding between the two parts. - The "distinctive touch" that produces drawing with chinese ink, simplify and highlight the most interesting features of the previous points. In this way, I'm trying to generate the same feeling as i sense to all of you. ArtWork - Argentinian Polo-Rider: Polo is a horseback mounted team sport. It is one of the world's oldest known team sports The game is played by two opposing teams with the objective of scoring goals by hitting a small hard ball with a long-handled wooden mallet, and through the opposing team's goal. Each team has four mounted riders, and the game usually lasts one to two hours, divided into periods British settlers in the Argentine pampas started practicing polo during their free time. Among them, David Shennan is credited with having organised the first formal polo game of the country in 1875, at Estancia El Negrete, located in the province of Buenos Aires. The sport spread quickly between the skilful gauchos, and several clubs opened in the following years in the towns of Venado Tuerto, Cañada de Gómez, Quilmes, Flores and later (1888) Hurlingham. In 1892 The River Plate Polo Association was founded and constituted the basis for the current Asociación Argentina de Polo. In the Olympic Games held in Paris in 1924 a team composed by Juan Miles, Enrique Padilla, Juan Nelson, Arturo Kenny, G. Brooke Naylor and A. Peña obtained the first gold medal for the country's olympic history; this also occurred in Berlín 1936 with players Manuel Andrada, Andrés Gazzotti, Roberto Cavanagh, Luis Duggan, Juan Nelson, Diego Cavanagh and Enrique Alberdi. The game spread across the country, and Argentina is credited globally as the capital of polo, and Argentina is notably the country with the largest number ever of 10 handicap players in the world.

I am 53 years old and I live in Argentina with my wife. We love to enjoy open spaces and portray with photographs and paintings what surrounds us. I have a 29 year old son who helps us with all the technological aspect to support this family project. My goal is to be able to publish those works that I have been developing and presented in different exhibitions in the region of the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina).
