This painting that I've worked on for the last 6 months (interrupted by moving to a house and renovations) is finally finished, and I'm quite happy with it. I'm enjoying it on my wall while waiting for the person who commissioned it to pick it up.

Real live tango musicians performing in front of my paintings - fitting as the backdrop, I must say... :-) at the special milonga at Las Piernas.

I touched up this painting of my favorite tango orchestra for my vernissage and it's sold to a very good home.

This is the largest tango painting on canvas that I've done so far: Remolino (or Tourbillon/Swirling) Acrylics on 1mx1m canvas.

My tango paintings and drawings are inspired by:
1. Tango lyrics such as A Media Lux, La Cumparsita, or Manana zarpa un Barco
2. My favorite tango orquesta, musicians: La Cachivache, Orq. Tip. Misteriosa, Sexteto Milonguero, Trio Garufa; Denis Plante, Mauricio Jost.
3. Famous dancers such as Javier Rodriguez + Geraldine Rojas, Daniel y Cristina, Jenny & Ricardo, Maria Belen y Diego Riemer, Albano Goldenburg. Local teachers: Ney et Marika, Gabriel et Melanie, Andrea et Wolf, etc.
4. Simply depicting the beauty and movement of the dance, or scenes of milongas.

Enjoy!

My first tango painting done in Buenos Aires as commission for a friend. Also the largest painting I've done in a long time. Fresh off the easel, may need some adjustments before it's considered finished. Based on my photos of a couple of tango performers in Plaza Dorrego, San Telmo.

Back to my sketch book after a few months of being too busy/lazy to keep up the practice.
