Bio
I was born in 1985 in Montevideo, Uruguay, where I studied Fine Arts at the University of the Republic (UdelaR) with focus on Computer Languages. I find great inspiration, ideas, and work to do in nature, technology and the unknown. I usually explore the artistic process using a wide array of elements such as pencil and ink drawing, mural painting, digital and traditional animation, the craft of interactive experiencies like videogames, and sometimes, music composition.
EXHIBITIONS / WORKS
In 2018 I was invited by Dina Mouton and the Academy of Fine arts of Bruges, to contribute to the collective exhibition “A Moment of Renovation”, for which I created an audiovisual instalation at the old chapel, now a museum, “De Schipperskapel” in Bruges, Belgium. - See more -

In 2015 I gave 3D animation classes for the Career in Audiovisual Languages and Media, at the Fine Arts Institute of the University of the Republic, Uruguay.
From 2013 and still today, I am part of the original formation of the videogame studio Pomelo Games, doing animation, interaction and UX/UI design. - Pomelo Games -
