(b. Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1933). Between 1950 and 1955 he studied painting with Horacio Butler and Law at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, but he gave up law and became a journalist and art critic for El Mundo, an Argentine newspaper. He moved to Paris in 1961 on a French government grant where he became part of the the Nueva Figuración or the Otra Figuración group along with Jorge de la Vega, Ernesto Deira, and Rómulo Macció. He moved from painting to creating assemblages and installations continuing with expressionistic figures seeming to battle with life and death. His work evokes urban chaos through a mix of mutilated figures and expressionism as well as social and political issues and existentialism. He lives in Buenos Aires.
