Tongue in Sculpture

I’m a Latin American artist, born to an Argentine mother and Bolivian father, and raised between both countries. I studied Social Communication and later Film at the National University of Córdoba, Argentina—a place where I encountered the word art both emotionally and academically. My artistic practice began with photography, a medium I explored for over twenty years to investigate symbolic projections of identity through portraiture. In Bolivia, I developed much of my photographic work and received several awards that solidified my identity as an artist. I participated in more than thirty exhibitions, collaborations, and residencies with institutions, galleries, and art centers. Seeking new expressive forms, I moved to Barcelona, Spain, where I pursued further education with a Master’s in Contemporary Artistic Creation. That path eventually led me to study ceramics at the Escola Industrial de Barcelona. Four years of direct engagement with clay gave rise to a deeper sculptural practice—one centered on matter, the body, and the representation of expanded bodies. Ceramic sculpture has become a fundamental part of my artistic language. I work with a material charged with symbolism, where spoken language falls short. I currently live in Rimini, Italy, where I maintain a ceramic workshop and photography studio. I continue to experiment and research the sculptural and discursive potential of clay. I also spend extended periods in Bolivia, Brazil, and Argentina—places that remain emotionally and professionally vital to me. You can find more details about my awards, exhibitions, residencies, and publications on my website. Thank you for your interest in my work. Artists always need the gaze of the other to become artists. -- Soy de origen latinoamericano, hijo de madre argentina y padre boliviano, y crecí entre estos dos países.
