Argentinian interdisciplinary artist Berlin-based whose work crosses boundaries of Art, Fashion, Installation and Performance merging them, with a distinctive white-centric approach.
Known for creating behind the Brutralist Functional Art Movement [BFAM], he also rethinks the fashion industries and Art in the apocalyptic mood of dystopia questioning our values, existentialism and worth of creative in a post-global, neo-capitalist frame.
Both art and fashion embark on a journey of exploring new aesthetic criteria, incorporating technological advancements, and embracing diverse sensibilities, all in the pursuit of pushing visual boundaries.
“The artist uses and expands both passion and pain as the energy impulses of creation, which in his opinion are the engine of every human being. Through them people can become big or small, can laugh and cry, can make and destroy in matter of seconds”.
