I was born in Salta, Argentina, in 1960
I have two sons, two grandchildren and a step one! I love them very much.
I have university degrees in Mathematics and Physics and worked mostly in the IT/Computing fields until 2001 when, for health reasons, I decided to retire from the high-stress world and follow my passion: arts.
Arts runs in my blood from both: my father's and mother's sides. I was born in a house with a dark room! I'm also a 4th generation photographer (as far back as I can trace it) and grew up in environments of painters, photographers and theatre actors.
As a photographer and digital artist, I focus mostly on portraiture, nature, artistic nudes and Advocacy art: Anti-imperialism, antipoverty, antiracism, Gay & HIV anti-stigmatization. Past exhibits include galleries and exhibits in Ottawa (Ont), Toronto (Ont), Montreal (Qbc) and Vancouver (BC).
My idea of life? If we are lucky, we will know what love is and, perhaps, live long and get very old. A balance between wisdom and taking risks makes for an often bumpy but interesting journey. So then.. here I am walking this journey, knowing that this is my life .. the only one I got.. and is up to me to make the most of it. Trying to be wise but taking a hell of a lot of risks while walking this journey. Looking back, it was a good and bumpy ride. Looking forward, almost scaring... Looking at the present: I love my children, .. and my work.. so is all good.
Thanks.
Gustavo
