Ernesto Berra continues to live in Cordoba, Argentina, the city in which he was born. Berra is a graduate of the University of Cordoba and has had numerous exhibitions dating back to 1969.
The abstract urban landscapes of Ernesto Berra reflect the familiar old structures within his city that are crumbling with the advent of time. In addition to preserving a bit of the past, the artist sometimes gathers remnants of the decaying buildings to incorporate into his collage paintings, which also include acrylic, wood, fabric, wire and paper.
This combining of these diverse elements with the artist's experiences gives power to the waste and deterioration of these elements within Berra's paintings.
