15º Encuentro anual de fileteadores

15th Annual Fileteadores Gathering

As part of the 15th Annual Fileteadores Gathering, a group exhibition was held at the City Museum, in which I participated with my artwork *Piazzollana*.

This portrait of Astor Piazzolla, executed in the *fileteado porteño* style, traces part of his history and music through the various images that compose it.

At the center is Piazzolla with his bandoneón, captured in a gesture of unmistakable musical ecstasy. Wings symbolizing his *Ángel's Suite* frame his portrait, while the iconic sea lions from his native Mar del Plata hold up cornucopias—representing his creative abundance—from which his "lost birds" take flight.

In the four corners—surrounded by orange blossoms (a poetic allusion to the oranges in *Balada para un loco*)—are the instruments of his final quintet: guitar, double bass, piano, and violin. The image is completed by a fragment of *Balada para mi muerte*.

The exhibition took place from September 5 to 14, concluding precisely on Fileteador Day.

Fileteando el 2×4

Filleting the 2x4

What an incredible experience!
On Saturday, August 22nd, I participated in the art exhibition «Filletting thel 2×4 – A tribute to tango through the porteño style of fileteado».

Alongside other incredible artists of this authentic Buenos Aires art —all of them members of the «Almacén del Filete» school and under the guidance of the teacher Claudia Medori—, I had the pleasure of presenting several works inspired by tango and Argentine traditions.

I presented my painting «Portrait of Astor Piazzolla» —which includes numerous references to his music and his life—, three fileteado shoe lasts (man, woman and child) and a small guitar painted entirely with the fileteado technique.

In addition, I displayed a street scene in homage to the 90th anniversary of the Obelisk of Buenos Aires, with an original creation to decorate each of the faces of the monument, the iconic letters "BA", a lamppost, a typical advertising sign and a van; all of it decorated and made by me.

It was a lovely opening evening, surrounded by family, friends, and many people who came to the Casa del Tango to share the art and dance some tangos, in which I also participated!

Thank you for sharing this passion with me!

On Saturday, May 9, 2026, I had my first experience signing copies of my book “Discovering the World of Whisky” at the 50th Buenos Aires Book Fair.

In the Blue Pavilion, Stand 105 of the Editorial Autores de Argentina, I was very happy to welcome everyone who came to share this moment and buy my book.

Without a doubt, I am happier than the photos can capture; an experience that thrilled me and that I will always keep in my memory as an unforgettable moment.

Primera presentación de mi libro «Descubriendo el mundo del whisky»

First presentation of my book "Discovering the world of whisky"

On Thursday, April 23, 2026, I gave the first presentation of my book “Discovering the World of Whisky – A Different Guide to Knowing the Secrets of the Water of Life” at the Whisky Club La Plata.

It was an unforgettable night, where people were able to get a little closer to my art, in a mini exhibition of some of my paintings that are part of the book and of sheets specially designed by Adrián Conti, from Web 4 Diseño, who was also responsible for the overall design of the book.

The generosity and expertise of Roberto Rubini, who runs this wonderful space, made it possible for us to share, along with many whisky connoisseurs and lovers, a pleasant, relaxed and very enjoyable chat about the various topics covered in my book.

Thank you to everyone who came, and I hope to see you all again very soon.
¡Slàinte mahth!

Last presential and virtual group art exhibition at the 'Gusta tu Gusto' gallery, organized by Darío Zilberstein.

I presented my work, Cathedrals I, one of my few oil paintings, which reinterprets Chartres Cathedral and Rodin's sculpture "The Cathedral" in a play of transparencies where monumental architecture and the human dimension blend poetically to create a mystical symbiosis that transcends the religious

In virtual format, I exhibited my painting "Epic Spirit," a tribute to the Scottish spirit, featuring the central figure of its national animal, the unicorn, galloping in foreshortening that seems to leap off the canvas, against a blue background representing the colors of the Scottish flag. The flashes of red symbolize passion, while the gold expanding from the image represents whisky, the drink that best embodies its spirit.
