Juan Del Balso was born in Mendoza, Argentina on June 25, 1978.
He begins his artistic path precociously, almost like a game, until the age of 20, when he discovers and learn the technique of beaten / soldier iron and begins to recognize his artistic personality.
Del Balso is a self-taught artist, but his spontaneous approach to "making art" is then reinforced through observation and critical analysis of works of art. Looking to learn and perfectionate both on old and modern techniques. Always expressing hia personality and his own vision of the world.
He works with different materials (iron, stone, wood, clay, resin, etc.). In his sculptures, his subjects are expressed through figuration, other times, through abstraction.
He is an eclectic artist, who in each new job tries to find something different, profound.
In 2005 he decides to leave his country, Argentina, to travel to Italy, and after a period in Pietrasanta he moves to Florence, where he makes sculptures and paintings in his studio in the Santo Spirito neighborhood.
