Bio:

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 5 July 1964. From an early age I was admiring the paintings and drawings from my mother. I learned to play music. I joined at age 9 at the Rome Conservatory Theater.

I met the bonsai when you enter study at the University of Agronomy, in Buenos Aires. After several years of study devoted myself to continue studying for professional landscaper gardens and continued my studies with Bonsai, until today and since 1987.

Here in Buenos Aires learned initially with the sole master at that time was … mr.Toshio Chinen. I was fortunate to learn much from the master William Valavanis, Yuji Yoshimura, especially with Steve Pilacik.

In 2000 postgraduate degree in Arboriculture curse. I was teaching at the Technical School of Arboriculture at the University of Agronomy. There, I created two extra-curricular courses one of Japanese Garden Design and a Technical and classic bonsai cultivation. During that time period I had the chance to travel to Japan through a scholarship from the Japan Foundation.

I participated as a speaker at seminars, demonstrations, workshops and courses in Buenos Aires and in other parts of Argentina. I was part of the Staff who participated in the reform of the Japanese Garden of Buenos Aires and the master Minoru Shoji. Currently and since 2005, leads the management of my own nursery where we produce quality material prebonsai classic Japanese species and native species also.

…Over the years I learned to believe that all arts can save the world …. we can be saved with the arts … We can heal our spirit.

In my twenty years of growing up with this profession, I keep discovering every day different ways of relating to my trees. The hidden nature to anyone who can not see the great secret of a hidden world, a secret world.

For me bonsai is an art form that does not support be compared with other disciplines … must be essentially understood … Bonsai’s soul is revealed in this way
Bonsai is a unique sensation, this occurs when one discovers the essence, the image is only his own reflection.
