The 10th Encuentro de Fileteadores presented by the Asociación del Fileteadores is showing virtually from Buenos Aires, Argentina from September 14 to September 26. The exhibition will feature my newly painted word portrait piece titled “Gracias a Luis Zorz”, honoring this master who passed away a few years ago.

The Asociación del Fileteadores has been very important for creating a community of fileteadores, with exhibitions and networking, with the aim to preserve and support the international recognition of this art that we all cherish. Their work has resulted in the Argentina Cultural Commission awarding fileteado porteño the prestigious award of Cultural Heritage of the City of Buenos Aires (2006) and in 2015 the declaration of fileteado art as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.
