Damian Rilo: A Sensitive and Talented Argentine Artist Thriving on the Costa del Sol
Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Damian Rilo had a multifaceted and creative childhood. He was always fascinated by the arts, including painting, sculpting, and photography, and had a passion for architecture and design. His wooden Lego-type toy sparked his imagination, and he loved building houses and new structures to play with.
Growing up, Rilo’s parents were also involved in business, with his father running several stores and pantries and his mother owning a kinetic fashion store. Despite their successful careers, Rilo was encouraged to pursue his artistic dreams, which eventually led him to the Costa del Sol in Spain.

Rilo has been living on the
Costa del Sol for nine years, seeking professional and artistic development. As an artist, he feels a deep sense of sensitivity, which allows him to perceive even the most hidden vibrations in people. This heightened awareness has helped him develop other cognitive abilities as well.
Rilo hopes to encourage readers to invest in good art or seek advice on putting together their own art collections. He draws inspiration from many painters, sculptors, and architects, including Picasso, Baskiat, Rodin, Calder, and Clorindo Testa, among others.
Rilo’s journey to becoming an artist and photographer was not without its challenges. In 2010, he experienced a traumatic incident that changed the course of his life. Two individuals tried to break into his home, causing glass to shatter on both his wrists. The injury forced
Rilo to focus on rehabilitation, losing strength in his arms but still being able to take photographs. He went on to work for some of the best studios and magazines in Argentina, Brazil, and Marbella.
