El hilo de la Sabiduria Painting

I am a painter and sculptor. I was born in Uruguay, South America, far to the south, and in a small inland town called Canelones. From a young age I knew that art was what most interested me. There was no better news that they told me that school was suspended for some reason, to stay to paint, or to draw. At the age of twelve, I held my first exhibition, and from then on, my life has been dedicated to art and living for and for it. Since my youth I have always continued to be my passion, and although I studied and dedicated myself to other activities, since no beginning is easy, at a certain point in my life I decided that I would dedicate myself fully to what I loved so much. I am self-taught, although I have had the opportunity to meet and establish friendship with great Masters of Uruguayan painting, and to train myself by reading and experimenting with new techniques. I have made exhibitions since 1972, constantly, both in my country and abroad. Thanks to art I have traveled a lot and I have been nourished by those experiences. I exhibited throughout the United States, and in Europe, in Holland, Spain, Belgium, France. Many of my works are in private collections in Uruguay and in other parts of the world. I have received awards and mentions throughout a career of more than forty years dedicated to art. I am dedicated to painting, both oils and acrylics and sculpture in all its possibilities, marble, bronze, ceramics, resins. At present, I live in Uruguay where I have a beautiful, spacious workshop that allows me to develop all disciplines, listening to music, and enjoying a beautiful garden that surrounds my house. What inspires my work? Since childhood, the human figure was what attracted the most. I made sculptures and human forms in clay and portrayed everyone around me.
