About me

Parallax Image




I'm an Argentine illustrator living in Germany, and like many, my interest in drawing and animation started during my childhood afternoons while watching cartoons before and after school. My favorite characters and shows came from Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, Tex Avery and Disney. Still today I feel the influence by those classic cartoons and also by sci-fi series from the 1960's. I think part of that is still in me and usually reflected in what I do.

My work for children's illustrations tries to evoke warmth, humor, curiosity, and education. I consider that the versatility and variety of projects are important in my career.

I'm always willing to collaborate in anything big or small, so don't hesitate to get in touch!
