“En Espera…”
It is a body paint work done in La Habana, Cuba, in 2003; naked women acquire magical shapes and colors and are woven together to be reflected in a stream of beautiful photographs for its expression, subtlety and color. 

“Invisible Eye”
Is a multimedia work done from March to October 2006 during the journeys in Patagonia Argentina, from the Mountain Range of Los Andes to the Atlantic Coast, where along the route the landscape was photographed and filmed from a particular angle: from macro to micro, making abstract images, textures, shapes and colors of nature. This material consists of a collection of photographs and a video captured under the same light that the photos, where the pace of the image is given by waves, wind and natural textures which come to life in strange appearances. This work was presented in various regions of Argentina, riding a multimedia show where the video images were being set with music in real time.  This workshop was designed and presented together with Ulises Labaronnie, argentine musician living in Patagonia director of experimental music group "Ensamble Circular”.
