who we are
As a young adult, I moved to New York from my native country of Argentina. There I learned the enjoyment of working with clay, studying with ceramists Halina Mantel and Elaine Braun and with Argentine sculptor Carlos Bartolini. During that time I participated in several group showings and received several awards. I also taught myself the basics of early microprocessors and computers.
After moving to Washington, D.C., I learned computer programming and wrote several programs, including "The Banner Machine" —which printed large-sized banners using a dot matrix printer— and a number of companion utilities for a retail point of sale software package.
Shortly after the 1996 Olympic Games, I moved with my family to Atlanta. At that time I began highlighting in my photographs the colors and shapes that attracted me in the first place and to remove all that was extraneous to the image I visualized in my mind.
My work combines photographs with digital artistic techniques and elements. A photograph is the starting point, my imagination its driving force. Ultimately, what I’m trying to convey is my own sense of wonder.
