Quino always knew that what he wanted to do was draw. After beginning his studies at the School of Fine Arts, he realized that more than painting amphorae and still lifes, what he really wanted to do was dedicate himself to graphic humor. And so he did. In 1954 he published his first page in the weekly Esto es de Buenos Aires.
Since then, his drawings have appeared and appear in a multitude of magazines and newspapers in Latin America and Europe.
