Emmanuel Lafont
BUENOS AIRES 1980. VISUAL ARTIST AND IDEA PORTRAYER
His work is usually autobiographical or based on his particular perception of the world. In parallel he investigates about the mechanisms of creative process and on how the environment influences it.
He recognizes an unconditional love for graphite, ink and the most “artisanal” processes (drawing, engraving and sculpture), but the need to look for new languages encourages him to try different techniques and forms of representation such as installation or video.
He studied at the University of Fine Arts in Cordoba, Argentina.
