Muralist · Brooklyn, New York
I paint images that feel like memories.
I paint images that feel like memories.
I am an Argentine muralist and visual artist based in Brooklyn, with over a decade of experience developing large-scale public artworks across Latin America, Europe, and the United States.
My practice combines community engagement, large-scale mural production, and narrative-driven imagery that explores memory, identity, and collective experience. I hold a degree in Psychology from the University of Buenos Aires.
My current investigation, Visual Paganism, emerges from encounters with spontaneous symbolic systems in New York — altars and accumulations that signal cosmologies operating beneath the surface of the city.
