"Teenager Alice" ready to find her new home!
Older now, Alice stands before a mirror, convinced that the strange world she once fell into is finally behind her. But the reflection tells a different story. Beyond the glass, Wonderland still holds her captive. In a fleeting moment of realization, surprise gives way to fear. The mirror becomes more than a reflection—it becomes a doorway to the truth she was not ready to face. Teenage Alice explores the fragile boundary between escape and illusion, and the unsettling poss

New Artwork - A Piece of Argentina’s History
"Joven Tehuelche (Aborigen Argentina)" - This piece portrays a young Tehuelche woman from southern Patagonia, Argentina.

Works in Progress
Works in Progress Lately, my studio (which is also my home at the moment) has been filled with ideas, sketches, and works in progress, and I couldn't be more excited about it. My wife, on the other hand, keeps looking around and saying, "What a mess!" I'm currently developing several new pieces, all connected by my love for magical realism, yet each one explores different techniques, materials, and visual languages. I enjoy allowing every artwork to find its own voice, and th

ON SALE - Mujer en Carbonilla (Charchoil Woman)
Check this artwork HERE! A charcoal portrait that emerges through movement, instinct, and controlled chaos. The face of an Asian woman appears hidden within a storm of rapid, erratic strokes — blurred lines, soft shadows, and fragmented textures that give the artwork a raw sense of energy and emotion. Rather than seeking perfect definition, the piece embraces spontaneity and motion. The scattered and smoky lines create an atmosphere where the portrait feels alive, as if it we
