Painter and engraver born in Montevideo (Uruguay) in 1934. Early vocation, self-taught, he started working as an apprentice painter in 1945. Later on he enrolled in the Circle of Fine Arts and in the Uruguayan Institute of Plastic Arts, where he studied History of Art, Sculpture and Engraving. He collaborates as a scenographer in the School of Dramatic Art (Montevideo, Uruguay), until he gets a scholarship that allows him to travel to Europe and America, settling in Madrid (Spain) in 1967. His work is based on cubist resonances, and at the end of 1960 he opted for a means of expression that delves into geometric abstraction through superimposed figures, especially the circumference, which is present in all his work. In 1975 he moved to France, where he displayed a figurative style with fantastic roots, populated by evanescent, soft characters cut out on flat backgrounds of contrasting colors. In the eighties, he sintered his previous work by placing geometrical figures, such as the sphere, and biomorphic figures, in the manner of glyphs in acidic tones, in the same space. He also begins his collaborations with the Ville d'Elancourt, for which he makes several murals that, together with the edition of books and his teaching work, complete his artistic production. In 1990 his work was selected by NASA to travel on the space shuttle Discovery. 250 engravings by Antonio Andivero that the European Space Agency and NASA chose to celebrate their 25 years of mutual collaboration on the occasion of the launch of the Hubble telescope.
