Biography

Born and raised in Argentina, Pablo has been living in Miami Beach for over a decade. When asked about the reasons why, he'll say it was his destiny. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts to follow traditional careers he found out it was surrounded by nature where he would feel self realized, nothing else was needed. However, on his 33th birthday, he reluctantly accepted a gift from his mother, a photographic camera. Even though he had no idea about how to operate it, the moment he hung it from his neck he had this strange feeling of belonging, he knew it was the beginning of a journey. Without financial resources for a formal education in photography he relied on whatever information he could find in books and the internet. Gradually he began to realize that photography could be a bridge between his inner vision and the outside world. It became an obsession, a drug. Influenced by his frequent lucid dreams, synchronicities and other similar experiences, we see in his pictures an attempt to show us this reality with a sense of something beyond it, of something surreal, magical. In his portrait works we find an intention to reflect both the simplicity and complexity of the human experience, relationships, emotions. From a philosophical perspective, it's quite clear to identify an incessant, yet captivating,  search for meaning, for the meaning of life, of beauty, for the meaning of love. He believes that photography can be used as a device to open up and expand our perception.

In the course of his so far short career, he has had his work exhibited in some of Miami's finest art galleries, and he's been recognized and featuerd by the local media. After a short break from the public orbit, he's now back with, among other things, the fascinating world of underwater, oceanic photography, where he believes there's a vast artistic territory still unexplored, especially in relation to the fashion arena. When asked about what his goals are for his professional career he says he has only one: "I wanna take the most beautiful picture in the world, and give it away to everyone".
