Bio:
Since my childhood I had an inclination for drawing and music"
In 1969 I started a trip for two years all over Europe and part of Asia:Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, India, Sri Lanka, etc. where I studied their music and art in general. I entered the Fine Arts School in Montevideo, Uruguay.
Later on I settled down in Buenos Aires, Argentina I attended courses of drawing and sculpture with great masters such as Pugia and Azcarate. I have exhibited in several private and collective art shows.
My spirit is absolutely romantic. I share with Rousseau's ideas. My favorite writers, among others, are: Goethe, Hesse, Huxley, Borges, Espínola, García Marquez.
I enjoy composing my music for my own pleasure.
The Internet permits me to publish my works. Nevertheless I have received several awards in different exhibitions. I am an artist of multiple qualities, not to say dispersed, therefore I enjoy skipping from one technique to another very much, I have acted freely.
I have lived art as an adventure and I continue doing it so.
I always needed to create music and rhythms. I always heard classical music, at age 17 I began to play drums in a beat band. At the age of 22, I went to India and met Ravi Shankar, who prompted me to learn to play the sitar. I gave sitar concerts for some years and then began to experiment with keyboards and started to compose music with specialized software for mixing and editing it.
"The sculpture is to Ricardo Chappe an additional conduit of expression"
