Grucho is a typical gaucho. He was born and raised on the island of Las Lechiguanas, Argentina.

Here, everything exists within a perfect red line where the real and the fantastic coexist. Grucho knows his land inch by inch, literally. His connection to it is deep and visceral, to the point that it is as obvious to him as it is to us to have sensation in the extremities of our bodies. He can feel what is happening on his land. He always knows where his herds of cattle are, and he can sense when an animal is sick, perhaps exhausted after being released from the dangerous waters of a swamp or bent over to drink from the river. He sometimes spends days nursing them back to health when he catches up with them. He brings back horses that roam free in vast terrains, using a whistle and some sung verses, but most of the time, the animals are too far away to be able to hear the sound. However, they always come back.

Whenever I look at these pictures, I return to his world. He welcomes us into his home and daily life and accompanies us to where he spends his time, slowly introducing us to his reality. We find the gateway to this world of his through his eyes and his words, which still resonate in me as they did the first time I heard them.
