an Argentinian painter, sculptor, engraver and scenographer.
About my artwork
I´m completely devoted to xylography, sculpting and digital art. I´ve already made three exhibitions using the last of the three means of expression. They´re unique in the sense that I use the mouse as if it were a pencil- I even sign with it- but I don´t employ any predetermined shapes. Once the drawing is complete I treat it with different graphic editors to apply different textures and effects to them.
I´m currently working on videos based on my latest digital production and also on CD cover artwork.One of my latest works- Una Nada y Color-was used as the artwork for Camille DeVore´s latest jazz CD (Dream in Color), which was released in NY City on June 8th, 2008.
Thanks to Dirk Schreurs ( Belgium)- who´s generously offered me the use of his 2006 album ¨Minds of Glass¨ to set music to some of my latest videos- I´ve been able to finish eleven brand-new works. This collaboration, which was born as two separate entities, came to fruition when Dirk saw in my digital art a reflection of his own compositions.It was a pleasant surprise for me to discover on listening to his music that his tunes pulse with the rhythm of my own creations.

The Minds of Glass video art project has been officially selected to be presented worldwide at the International Independent Film and Video Festival in Los Angeles next July and in NY in autumn.

Now I feel it is the right time to thank you for your friendship and support in 2009. Still busy in studio, still working hard to get something we can call our own stile.
The 30th of december last year it suddenly appear a lighting sceanery on heaven. Luckely I managed to grab a camera and save the image. It was almost like the creator came down in his greatness. With this photo I want to wish you and yours a merry christmas and a happy, new year full of posibilities and great moments.
Peace, love and respect.

Every day we are jumping from one task to another – looking at the watch as a guide. No wonder heart attack is one of the main causes to death. We forget to pause, to look around and to enjoy friendship and family. The world is beautiful – you only have to allow yourself to see it - to experience it. Look at the watch, painted by Jette – given the title “Time is relative”.

Hey Marta, wishing you a fantastic weekend. Look at this video and be prepared. When it looks like it's going in the right direction remember to change from Rock'n Roll to real slow blues. Enjoy. Take care my friend. Blues'on. Grandpa_Erik
