Bio
Visual artist and cultural producer, has been directing La Pecera since 2013 in La Barra, Punta del Este—a self-managed space for the development of visual arts in Uruguay. As an artist, he has a broad trajectory starting in the early 2000s with numerous individual and collective exhibitions inside and outside Uruguay.

He regularly exhibits around the Rio de la Plata region and abroad, mentioning recent exhibitions such as 'Red Shift' at Galeria del Paseo in Lima, 'Tapes, Concentration, Repetition, and Drift' at Galeria Zielinsky in Barcelona, Spain, 'Aceguá Line' at Centro Cultural Kavlin in Maldonado, Uruguay, and 'Merín Line' at MACA (Museum of Contemporary Art Atchugarry) in Punta del Este, Uruguay.

He sees painting as a form of thought and an experimental practice. He investigates the conditions of creating painting through exercises, systems, and procedures that can be repeated later. He works in series and uses painting as a perpetual experiment.
