Comic book author and artist
Comic books are the way I understand and illustrate my place in the world. A medium that mixes language, literature and visual art and that is always evolving as we grow with it.
My work as an illustrator revolves around identity and territory as I explore extraordinary events in places and characters that lead ordinary lives.
I first published Aravco I - Wekufe in 2008, alongside writer Julian Figueroa and colourist and inker Cristian Escobar. Aravco ran for 5 issues, ending in 2010 and it became a cultural phenomenon, with its popularity increasing just as copies ran scarce. A complete edition was published in 2026 through Ariete Producciones (Chile).
My following graphic novels use my home, Patagonia, as a stage where the grandiose, the mundane and the supernatural coexist.
Los Fantasmas del Viento, published in 2014 alongside writer Óscar Barrientos and Cristian Escobar, dives into stories that sound vaguely familiar but hold a hint of mythology and legends.
Puntarenosa - La Balada de Cambiaso, published in 2019, is a single-story book that re-imagines the life, demise and legendary treasure that Miguel Cambiaso, an insurrect-turned-murderer, allegedly buried in Patagonia before setting the entire colony ablaze. This is our second collaboration with writer and lecturer Óscar Barrientos Bradasic.
