“IMAGETEXTE” is a series of exhibitions devoted to artists who explore the boundaries and possibilities of written and visual languages, bringing the two together.
What could be more inseparable than image and writing? The representation of the environment and of natural phenomena is the source of writing. Symbols, initially perfectly recognisable, become increasingly abstract as they are stylised, and before long, writing and image take separate paths. Yet they are never very far apart.

Spotted in Rosario’s psychiatric institution, his work was exhibited for the first time in 2005 at the ArteBA contemporary art fair in Buenos Aires.

The compositions of the enigmatic man, fascinated by conspiracy, appear like an attempt to alert humanity. Present in important collections, his works have been shown notably in the art brut exhibitions: a story of individual mythologies (Oliva Creative Factory, Portugal) and in the Museum of Everything by James Brett in MoNa (Australia).
