This image is a definitive portrait of the modern "gaucho", Uruguay's iconic cowboy. The subject is captured in mid-action, perhaps repairing his horse's bridle or crafting a leather good, his hands skilled and purposeful. He is set against the stark, beautiful backdrop of the pampas, with endless grasslands stretching to the horizon. His focused expression and traditional attire—a wide-brimmed hat, a neckerchief, and a worn "bombacha" (riding trousers)—tell a story of a lifestyle that is both rugged and deeply connected to the land, a symbol of national pride and enduring tradition.
“Buena parte de mi trabajo deambuló en personajes del campo uruguayo, la obra muestra el país nuestro auténtico. Mostrar nuestro país, nuestros ríos, nuestras personas. No todo el trabajo se va a limitar a eso, hay algunas fotos que también van a ser urbanas.”
“Most of my works are about wandering characters in rural Uruguay, showcasing our real country. Showcasing our country, our rivers, and our people. Not all work is limited to this, and some photos may also be urban.”
