In Niño obra de Zeta Yeyati we encounter more than a portrait of a child. We find a poetic construction where the central figure, a stylized child with a striking gaze, becomes the protagonist of a scene brimming with nostalgia and symbolism. Executed in mixed media on paper, with dimensions of 66x96 cm, the piece fuses acrylic, stencil and collage to build a visual world that feels both intimate and universal. The figure is outlined with minimal strokes, inhabiting a free compositional space where blue, orange, black and grey tones layer into a textured depth. The child here is not merely a figure but a symbol of permanence, playfulness and emotional truth. In line with Yeyati’s artistic philosophy, the work is built from non-traditional materials and discarded elements, affirming that art must reclaim and give new value to what consumer culture leaves behind. Niño obra de Zeta Yeyati resonates with humor, nostalgia and imagination through expressive lines, graphic elements and pictorial gestures that invite the viewer into a silent story from a lost tale.

Childhood as a visual and emotional territory

Zeta Yeyati, born in Burzaco in 1965, is a visual artist who transforms discarded materials into works full of poetic depth. While he is widely recognized for his music, his creative roots lie in the visual arts. Since childhood, he explored drawing and working with wood, giving shape to a language of his own where the overlooked becomes meaningful through artistic gesture. His work emerges from a sensibility that reclaims the emotional resonance of everyday materials.

Niño obra de Zeta Yeyati as a visual manifesto of artistic freedom

In Niño obra de Zeta Yeyati we find the essence of his creative process: spontaneous, fluid and free from convention. His autodidactic formation, complemented by workshops with master artists, has led him to develop a unique style rooted in discovery. He gathers materials from street corners, flea markets or dumpsters and transforms them into visual poetry. In this painting, the child emerges surrounded by symbolic traces of memory, time and imagination. Hybrid graphic and pictorial languages coexist in harmony. The character’s eyes, focal point of the work, compel us to remember, to look inward, to reconnect with the child we once were.

A portrait that transforms memory into a living image

What makes Niño obra de Zeta Yeyati so powerful is not just its aesthetic beauty, but its emotional resonance. This is not just a child but a universal figure of childhood. The work invites us to pause, to view with tenderness and curiosity, and to find in the ordinary the trace of what endures. With expressive color, minimalist lines and emotionally charged textures, Yeyati offers us a work that feels both nostalgic and vividly present. Niño obra de Zeta Yeyati opens a silent dialogue with the viewer and leaves us wondering what remains of that child in us all.

Zeta Yeyati

Poetry in fragments, the impulse of color, the memory of objects

Zeta Yeyati’s art cannot be understood in parts—even though it’s built from them. It might begin with a weathered street poster, continue with a salvaged bed leg or a shard of ceramic in his palm, and culminate in a vibrant painting that seems to float atop his assemblages. His work is an expanded terrain, where painting lives alongside collage, sculpture, reuse, and play.

Born in Burzaco in 1965, Zeta was a visual artist before becoming a musician—despite being known for his roles in bands like La Mississippi, Los Intocables, and Babel Orkesta. The visual arts were his first language. Even before the saxophone, there were pencils and wooden forms. Today, his studio is a space of constant discovery, where pigments, old tools, wood scraps, and soul-filled objects coexist.

Painting is not an isolated gesture in Yeyati’s practice. It’s part of a broader experience—an act of seeing, collecting, and re-signifying. His palette is bold, emotional, and direct. He embraces flat color, strong lines, and symbolic repetition: horses, queens, musicians, birds, and dogs often recur—not as decorative themes, but as archetypes from his emotional landscape.

Though self-taught, Yeyati spent time in workshops with renowned artists like Antonio Pujía, León Ferrari, and Diana Aisemberg. He draws tools from their teachings, but follows no school. His artistic voice is distinctly his own: he mixes ceramics, stencils, acrylics, ink, iron, wood, and bronze. Each piece is unique, blending urban culture, folk art, and a deep desire to breathe new life into discarded things.

His work follows a creative ethic where recycling becomes a worldview. As critic Rodrigo Alonso noted, Zeta’s art challenges the speed of consumerism and encourages us to look closer at what’s been thrown away. To recover an object is to give it a second chance—to restore it without erasing its past. That’s where Yeyati builds his visual poetics: as an act of resistance and repair.

In an age of mass production and constant disposal, Zeta Yeyati invites us back to the source—to touch the imperfect, the handmade, the alive. And in every work, to discover the quiet possibility of unexpected beauty.
