E.U. and Mercosur hardships
Illustration for a leading article (in Spanish) about the present state of the two blocks. While the South American one (Argentina’s Macri and Brazil’s Rousseff in the bottom line) try to overcome falling prices of commodities that are their main exports, they don’t look at their European counterpart as a model. The European Union has […]

May 19, 2015
Ninety years ago, between March and April, 1925, Albert Einstein spent four weeks in Argentina and then another one in Uruguay and Brazil. This article (in Spanish) recall his journey here and the hectic schedule he would achieve. He was received like a “rock star” and gave a lot of conferences trying to explain his […]
Charlie Hebdo and the End of History
January 10, 2015
In the wake of the shocking murders in Paris I was requested to write an article and an illustration for the Rio Negro daily. So, I called my beloved Escher to help me with such a task. Here is a translation of the last paragraphs I wrote: And it’s hard to consider the effects of […]

World Cup: soccer, stars and money
July 4, 2014
The World Cup entering its final stages gives some food to chew. As a beautiful sport this cup showed some improvement. Mainly from some “lesser” participants while some of the “big ones” showed the poisonus side of money: as they can buy players they fail to promote local youngs to the front. England, Spain and […]
Juan Carlos & Felipe, kings of Spain
June 27, 2014
Change of kings in Spain. Juan Carlos later years were overrided by corruption scandals and popular discredit because of a picture of him beside a hunted elephant.
Chile: a nightmare 40 years old
September 10, 2013
40 years ago on 9/11 the bloody coup of general Pinochet (with the help of the White House, Corporate America and the Neocons) against the constitutional president of Chile, Salvador Allende, inaugurated the worst period of Imperialistic rule in South America. As an Argentinian who lived that nightmare I want to shout out to my […]
The panda & the bald eagle
August 23, 2013
Some say China has overtaken US in global commerce. Not just in such regions like Africa and Latin America in search of a better treatment from its partners. But also in places like S. Korea. Other say that the star of the rising markets like the BRIC is dwindling and China is about to crash […]

OK, people. Cast your vote for all of us in the Rest of the World and enjoy the next four years! (We are comfy this way, while you don’t pay too much attention to us, here down south).
Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will
December 31, 2011
Time to close another year. As I never was good at doing inventories of everything that happen to balance, I’ll just take one significant occurrence. If something, 2011 was the year of “the People occupying the Public Square”; Time magazine was right, for once. In Tunisia, in Egypt, in Israel, in Europe and in the […]
The Hope is gone, but OWS is coming
November 17, 2011
When I was asked to illustrate an article about the problems faced by Obama that render him overwhelmed I couldn’t help it but remembered the Time magazine’s cover that shocked me out back in 1978: A few days later, as I started reading a longtime procrastinated book by Harold Bloom (Omen of Millennium, translated into […]
Berlusconi, Italy and the Media Purgatory
October 13, 2010
I did this illustration (obviously inspired by Delacroix) for an article in the Argentine daily Río Negro which summarize another one published by “Foreign Policy”. But, unlike the original reference, the Argentine counterpart underscores the source of the unlimited power that allows Berlusconi to turn Italy into a “bordello” (brothel): his uncontested control of the […]
Schopenhauer and my will
September 24, 2010
This year 9-11 was very special for me. I was scheduled for surgery (hernia) for months and wanted to make completion of all the tasks that would not be able to meet later. To my surprise, two weeks before, I had some urgent work proposals from several points of the globe. This meant to do intensive exchange […]
Obama, Uncle Sam’s make-up aide
July 3, 2010
Some surveys registered an improve of the United States image among the Latin American populations. The worst figures notwithstanding are among the biggest three countries of the region: Argentina, Mexico and Brazil -in that order. Even so, this article sees a good opportunity (wasted by Obama himself) to improve USA’s relationship with its neighbors, via […]
