Jorge Boccardo Biography
Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1957
An established Argentinean artist who now lives in Spain, Jorge Boccardo often mixes sand, cement, or dirt with paint on his canvas. This rough surface serves as the base for his works of undefined places whose gestural lines slowly reveal themselves to the viewer.
Boccardo has illustrated numerous books and magazines, including his own collections of poetry.
He studied at the Univeristy of Architecture and Urban Design in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
