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 sets of equations that 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 the visual arts provide a way to continue to tend to this thirst for beauty.  


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 when I turn the 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 play a role similar to that painting in my bedroom on someone's life.
