I was born in Rio Cuarto, Argentina on December 21, 1962. My childhood there with my family was a happy one. My parents weren't artists themselves, but they appreciated art in all its expressions, and taught me to appreciate it as well.

I finished school, but the course work was in no way related to art. When I graduated, I began training as a stage actor. When I was 40, I began to seriously study acting. Then I moved to Mexico, and began to design silver jewelry.

My first design was a silver ring I still have, and I want it to remain in my family for future generations. I've been designing jewelry now since 2003, and my family is also involved. My designs are 100 percent handcrafted by artisans who preserve traditional techniques. I'd describe my style as simple and original, inspired by life and by my people.

My favorite activities are reading, cinema and the theater. My greatest challenges and worries are the same as most people my age — the death of loved ones, war, sorrow….

I'd like to share my work with you all, and also the pleasure of art in all its expressions. It's a wonderful way to enjoy life.

NOVICA was started with a dream to create a better world for artisans, because a better world for artisans is a better world for all.

Along the way, the founders of NOVICA discovered something very important - as artisans around the world succeeded, there was also a visible and profound impact on the communities around them.

Your purchases are that powerful. They directly and indirectly provide for education, help with health care, fund basic needs, support children, preserve disappearing arts, and of course, spread happiness around the world.

The founders of NOVICA had a vision of the future that is not one of mega factories producing cookie cutter products for all to cheaply consume. Instead, a bright future that celebrates artisans who take the time to create an item by hand. A future where time is protected, where stories are told, where unique details are honored. Love, respect, inclusiveness become driving force.
