Tec
Born in Cordoba, Argentina
Lives in Sao Paulo
Born in Cordoba, Argentina, the artist currently lives in Sao Paulo, Brasil.
His artistic trajectory can be divided in three periods. The artist stayed in his hometown until the age of
fifteen and then moved to Buenos Aires where he had his first contact with art. That moment, Tec, started
painting the walls of the streets of the capital of Argentina promoting his rock band, Ocote.
From that moment, the artist created dialoguing directly with the football universe, the rock bands and the
graphite in its inscription shape calligraphed. He signed his work using two pseudonyms: Sade and Tec.
With time he decided to stay only with Tec. The second moment of his career happened when he entered in
college of graphic design at university of Buenos Aires.
In 2000, he joined the artistic collective, FASE. Developed to be a fanzine, soon the collective raises new
flights and occupies the streets with artistic interventions, that goes since lambe-lambe and stencil until
paintings with roller, something unusual in the streets of Argentina.
In 2005, FASE represented Argentina in the cinema festival in Berlin with the short film Futbol 05, which
is part of the audiovisual content of worldwide futbal from Gremany in 2006.
From this experience the artist developed an intense muralist activity in Buenos Aires and Cordoba,
revaluing the scene of Latin American urban art and working collectively for the revitalization of public
space.
At the same time Tec worked in advertising agencies and film producer, which provided technical expertise
to film and to produce RUTA 9, a documentary of rural art self-filmed. Driving a Renault 4 the artist
travelled the road linking the city of Cordoba to Buenos Aires filming the experience of painting
abandoned buildings.
Internationally recognized with the showing "De Dentro e De Fora" (inside and outside) held at the
Museum of Art of Sao Paulo (MASP), Tec decided to reside in Sao Paulo where he has his studio, develops
exhibitions and makes drawings on asphalt in large slopes from the city of Sao Paulo. His last work, that
channeled all his artistic influences, was the World Cup held in Brasil. His drawings stamped a large flag
that was opened on the football field of the Arena Corinthians, in Sao Paulo, at the opening ceremony of
the FIFA World Cup 2014.
