That is Caminito, in 'La Boca' neighbourhood, in Buenos Aires, it's right by a port, more than 90% of argentinians families come from immigrants from Europe, mainly Spain, Italy, and France.
Many lived together on those houses called 'Conventillos' and they were poor, they painted those houses with left-over paint of the ships, that's why they are so colorful.
On the same street, looking on the other direction, you see the port, my painting 'Quinquela siempre' it's a homage to one of the greatest painters of Argentina, Benito Quinquela Martín, he painted mostly ships and port scenery.
I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I've found another home in the United States. I changed careers from Architecture to become a Scenic Artist, which is painting scenery for film, television and theatre. I'm a member of I.A.T.S.E. United Scenic Artists Local 829.
Currently I am the Lead Scenic Artist at the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston, Massachusetts.
Here you can see both my latest scenic work and my fine artist paintings. Most of my work is done in acrylics. And I like to play with a lot of texture.
As a Scenic Artist I have painted for the Opera Boston, Boston Ballet, Boston Conservatory, The Lyrics Stage Company of Boston, American Repertory Theater, 5 Wits, North Shore Music Theatre, Huntington Theatre Company and Cobalt Studios.
In Television and Film I have worked for Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox, ABC Studios, CBS Television Studios, Paramount Pictures, Radius - TWC and Peninsula Media.
I have been published in Redivider Volume 3 Issue 2 Spring 2006, a journal of new prose, poetry and art at Emerson College, Boston, MA and at The Renascent, volume 1 Painting.
I hope you enjoy your visit!
