About Me
From Blueprints to Picture Books
I live and work in the beautiful coastal city of Mar del Plata, Argentina. My creative journey began in the field of architecture, graduating with a degree in 2003 and starting a career in commercial design. However, the birth of my first child completely shifted my world. My growing love for children’s literature sparked a new passion, leading me to venture into the world of book illustration.
Since 2006, I have joyfully dedicated my life to bringing stories to life. Today, I am proud to have illustrated more than 50 children’s books, captivating audiences ranging from early readers to young adults worldwide. I am globally represented by The Bright Agency.
Behind the Pages
My Craft & Technique
Combining my background in architecture and fine arts, my illustration technique focuses heavily on using light to model dimensional shapes and build rich, inviting atmospheres. My illustrations resemble traditional paintings on canvas.
The Foundation. Light and shadows are meticulously built using deliberate brushstrokes in shades of gray until the forms are fully defined.
The Breath of Life. Rich color palettes and delicate textures are applied over the monochrome base, bringing the entire artwork to life.
I am endlessly curious and dedicated to my craft. In my spare time, I continuously study composition, color theory, and human figure drawing to push my artistic limits.

What Drives Me
My Creative Goals
High Quality & Originality
I strive to bring unique warmth, charm, and elite technical execution to every page layout, seamlessly intertwining my artwork with the author’s manuscript text.
Author Collaboration & Satisfaction
I deeply love collaborating with independent, self-publishing authors—often helping them bring their very first book to life. Ensuring my clients feel completely satisfied and excited when receiving their final printed books is incredibly rewarding to me.
Inspiring Happy Kids
My ultimate goal is to spark joy and wonder in children. Creating beautiful books that foster a lifelong love for reading is my way of contributing to a child’s imagination and development.
Outside the Studio
I work from my cozy home studio, always accompanied by a hot cup of coffee and my cat, Luna, curled up nearby. When I am not painting on my digital canvas, you can find me gathering fresh inspiration on long, peaceful walks along the coast with my dog, Bailey.
