Jorge Traverso

Written by Drap Art Office on .

He studied Art History, Painting, and Printmaking Techniques at the National School of Fine Arts in Montevideo (now the University of Montevideo) until the military dictatorship closed the school.

In 1970, he moved to Spain and traveled through several European countries and North Africa.

In 1972, he discovered Ibiza, and in 1976, he traveled to Formentera for the first time, temporarily residing in El Pilar de la Mola, where he met artists like Toni Tur “Gabrielet,” Guillermo Berrier, and Gilbert Herreyns. He has been settled in Barcelona ever since, balancing his artistic pursuits with the restoration and trade of antiques, specializing in ethnological objects from Asia and Africa. In 2009, he returned to Formentera, where he has lived and worked ever since.
