Occupation: Artist / Sculptor
Instagram: FacebookWhere were you born?
I was born in La Plata, Argentina. As a kid spent my days drawing motorcycles and birds non stop. At 10 I asked my parents for entering into an artist studio and they hook me with a local sculptor. Then I studied architecture but quit after a year to consecrate myself to art. Many years spent working by myself in solitude, traveling and in contact with argentinian artist Kosice and Madi art theory. In 1996 I won a Fulbright Grant which allowed me to come to NY to pursue a MFA in computer art at SVA. Now I am working at my studio at Mana Contemporary in JC.
In one sentence what is unique about your work?
My sculptures can be folded and unfolded. They become different configurations. They don’t have fixed positions.
Why do you do what you do?
I make art to remain attentive, awaken. Inquisitive. To give back a certain gift. To contribute with the continuation of judaism.
What inspires you?
I am inspired to celebrate life. And for doing so I find extremely challenging to try to make abstract works without using metaphors, symbols, analogies. Works that instead try to ignite a pure vibratory energy. Life wants more life!
Describe your personal style.
Style is a sum of factors. May be I could sum it up as the result of an individual shaping an idea. A face with an idea embed. The universal through the particular. I feel that I ‘write’ sculptures. I stutter/write letters, words and more importantly sentences in space, with sculpture's language. I try to hunt them as they appear on the spot, at that nano second, not further preciousness. They mean nothing intelligible. Though they do delineate the white, the void. I use few means: straight lines, planes, the diagonal. Like writing cursive. And the time factor always in between lines!
Your ultimate must-have.
A rocket belt!
What superpower would you have and why?
The eloquence of a great poet; to laugh at loud at postmodernism!
What is next for you?
Making flying sculptures.
