About

(Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA, b. 1980) 


Curiosity is strong in me, since my early childhood. 

Whatever object I lay my hands on, was intriguing, 
sparking my mind on how things were made, 
how they worked, what they were for. 
Thus it is not surprising that after college 
I studied Physics at the University. 
Soon my passion for science began 
to give way to my artistic inclination. 

The breakthrough came with a retrospective, 
in Buenos Aires, 
of the creator of Magnum... 
Henri Cartier Bresson. 

Photography became a way of learning about myself, 
my feelings. 

Why I am taking this picture? 
Why does this concern me? 
It has also grown as a way of grasping the moment, 
an essential need, 
a visual attempt against the merciless tide of time. 

Nowadays I'm a freelance photographer, 
currently based in Lyon, France, since spring 2006.
