EAI Representative for Argentina

Since approximately 2013, I have begun to study and know this art about natural eggshells, knowing its origin and the various techniques, in addition to its origins in the world; I have my atelier in the city of Cordoba, province of Cordoba in Argentina.

I managed to train in some decoration and cutting techniques with people who had already been working in this technique, but I am largely self-taught, I make many of my own designs, although I am inspired by the precision, details and delicacy of the works of the goldsmith Karl Fabergé.

I use quail, chicken, goose, rhea, emu and ostrich shells in my works with a careful selection, seeking to adapt the design to the texture, shape and size of the shell.

I always try to show the perfection of a shell, its capacity to house a life and the immensity of the unknown in its transformation.

I have held several exhibitions, demonstrations, didactic talks and workshops for children in various cities of my country in order to show and disseminate this special art.
