Fernando arrived in Australia in 1969 from Montevideo, Uruguay after studying architecture. The excellence, quality and variety of the Australian timbers, triggered an old hobby for working with timber. Around 1975 and to further improve his skills, he undertook a course in French polishing, wood carving and lead light. He particularly enjoys developing his time pieces which are the product of spontaneous inspiration with a strong tendency towards the Art Deco style. Every design is unique. Fernando's work has been extensively exhibited throughout Australia
