my story


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.

In 1997 I moved with my family to Atlanta. I began then to highlight 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. Computers and its related technologies allow me to show in my unique way what my imagination sees, the infinite play of colors and light and some of the feelings born of such display. Making a moment permanent while at the same time capturing its liveliness is not an easy task. I may not reach that goal every time but that’s my intent because, ultimately, what I’m trying to convey is my own sense of wonder.
