Since discovering Tango in Buenos Aires 2008, I have been captivated by the intensity of its music, its movements, and its emotional depth. This experience inspired me to translate the world of Tango into my art.
Graphic Designer and Contemporary Tango Artist
Description:
Ever since my early childhood years, I have been fascinated by the glittering world of fashion and the music of Tango. Born in Argentina, close to the borders of Paraguay and Brazil, I have been always searching for the intrinsic connection between different cultures.
Before I started to paint Tangos I built on my talent in the area of Graphic Design at the German Master School of Fashion in Munich and completed my studies successfully with a Diploma. Soon after graduating I started my own business as a CEO of my Advertising Agency. I worked over 20 years all over the world for renowned fashion and lifestyle companies.
Since discovering Tango in Buenos Aires 2008, I have been captivated by the intensity of its music, its movements, and its emotional depth. This experience inspired me to translate the world of Tango into my art. Years of observing the nocturnal tango scene in the ballrooms, bars, and historic Cafés of Buenos Aires and Europe have provided an endless source of inspiration.
My work explores the subtle dialogue between women and men, capturing the tension, intimacy, grace, and surrender that lie at the heart of the dance. I work with watercolor, ink, charcoal and graphite. My expressive Brushwork reflects a visual language that is both powerful and sensitive. I have shown my works in various Tango locations in Europe and Argentina.
