"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

About an hour before the event, the rain began to fall, and although the festival was in the courtyard of the venue, it was decided to go ahead with the show.
As the night progressed and the rain became heavier, I did my best to avoid getting wet by taking shelter on a small railing next to the entrance. It was then that I noticed, against the white wall, a small, withered weed with one of its stems broken, whose silhouette reminded me of the figure of Don Quixote of La Mancha, with his broken lance. I thought about coming back at another time with my camera, in daylight and once the rain had stopped, to take a photo of it, as I thought it would be a good subject for a new work.
After thinking about it for a while, fearing that someone from the crowd entering and leaving the venue might step on or pluck the weed, I decided to take a photo of it right there with my smartphone. When I got home, I immediately got to work, and with the help of some textures, I created what I titled "The Twilight of Quixote".
That weed standing against the wall like the last vestige of life amidst the storm reminded me of the fragility of life, and those hours I spent under the bad weather proved it to me, as I ended up with an ear and throat infection. But I believe it was worth it.

I studied Graphic Advertising at Escuela Técnica - UTU (Universidad del Trabajo del Uruguay) from 1991 to 1993, graduating that year.
Photography and drawing were my favorite hobbies, and since the late '80s, I’ve been playing in various local rock bands.
In 1995, I began working as a video editor and cameraman, a role I held until October 2023 when I lost my job. Over those years, I had to set aside drawing and photography due to a lack of time, and music became my main outlet. Nonetheless, I often spent my free moments between jobs manipulating images on my PC, experimenting with filters, textures, noise, and distortions until they were almost (or completely) abstract.
As camera technology evolved over the years, improving the image quality, I developed an obsession with degrading images, making them less sharp, dirtier, and more "analog," so to speak. Textures, especially "grunge" textures, became crucial in my work. In the past year, I’ve devoted even more time to this process, which I consider a form of "digital art with analog materials," involving photographs altered with textures and often, textures layered with more textures.
I maintain a blog on my website where I share the process behind each work I post there and on my social media.
And now, I’m here, presenting my work to a more specialized audience.
