Since the late '80s, I've played in various local rock bands, and one of my favorite aspects of being in a band has always been the improvisations or jams. We used to warm up with these at the beginning of rehearsals or unwind with them at the end.

For this piece, I wanted to capture the spirit of those jams, starting without a specific direction and allowing the composition to develop organically based on the images I added to each layer.

The decisions I made were quite spontaneous and unplanned. The only guideline was the initial one, much like the start of a jam session, where one musician begins with a guitar riff, a bass line, or a drum groove, and the others build on it. In this case, the groove that started my improvisation was a texture of a somewhat decomposed tree trunk with soil and plants growing within it.

With this starting point, I followed the rhythm by working exclusively with textures from the plant kingdom, except for the stages where I enhanced colors or tones and added final touches. For those, I allowed myself to use other types of textures.

Finally, after adjusting blending modes, opacity, and other layer settings, and adding my usual textures for color and patina, I reached the end of my improvisation with this "organic chaos."

I studied Graphic Advertising at Escuela Técnica - UTU (Universidad del Trabajo del Uruguay) from 1991 to 1993, graduating that year.

 Photography and drawing were my favorite hobbies, and since the late '80s, I’ve been playing in various local rock bands.

In 1995, I began working as a video editor and cameraman, a role I held until October 2023 when I lost my job. Over those years, I had to set aside drawing and photography due to a lack of time, and music became my main outlet. Nonetheless, I often spent my free moments between jobs manipulating images on my PC, experimenting with filters, textures, noise, and distortions until they were almost (or completely) abstract.

As camera technology evolved over the years, improving the image quality, I developed an obsession with degrading images, making them less sharp, dirtier, and more "analog," so to speak. Textures, especially "grunge" textures, became crucial in my work. In the past year, I’ve devoted even more time to this process, which I consider a form of "digital art with analog materials," involving photographs altered with textures and often, textures layered with more textures.

I maintain a blog on my website where I share the process behind each work I post there and on my social media.

And now, I’m here, presenting my work to a more specialized audience.
