About me

Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Art Director - Creative Retoucher - Digital Artist

Retouching - CGI - Photo-manipulation - illustration - Photography - Content Creation

I've had a pencil in my hand for as long as I can remember and now, the privilege of working with what i love.

I try to put that same energy, curiosity and passion in each of my projects.

I make any kind of high-quality image for the advertising and entertainment industries, working with photography, digital retouching, mate painting and illustration, from a simple photo cosmetic retouching,

to the complete realization of a first brand campaign by full photo-manipulation.

Always waiting for new challenges, open to any kind of project, trying to learn more in any of them, and always trying to raise the level, relying on the experience of 11 years as Art Director in some

of the largest advertising agencies of my country, and ten years working professionally as a creative retoucher.

I can develop creativity if you need it, (Press, Outdoor & digital content).
