I grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and came to the U.S.A. in 1982 to pursue a graduate degree in Physics. 


I saw beauty in the symmetrical arrangement of Maxwell’s equations governing electromagnetism and in Einstein’s General Relativity formulation of gravitational forces. It is fascinating that the human mind can build a set of equations to describe real-life processes.


Even though the right/left distinction might work as a way to identify the prevalent brain areas engaged in human activities, I believe that there is a deep connection between scientific/technical ingenuity and artistic creativity: our natural thirst to find underlying patterns, form, structure, and beauty in the world we inhabit.


I retired from a long technical career in late 2018 and started painting right away. Even though this path felt serendipitous at the time  it now looks very logical, as it provides a way to continue to tend to this thirst.  


While growing up I had a reproduction of a famous painting by Miro in my bedroom.   A strikingly beautiful bass-relief made of cork, it was hung on the wall opposite my bed's headboard.  It was the image on my retina at lights out and the first thing I saw every morning when I woke up.  I can still connect to the little boy in that room when I think of this painting.


I feel blessed when a work of mine finds a new home, as I imagine that something I created might have a lasting impact on someone's life.   I could have never imagined I would find such a satisfying "second career"!
