Ákite is a Uruguayan Visual Artist with a natural geometric trait, a characteristic neo-cubist style, inspired by the expressiveness of native art from various original cultures. This is where his pseudonym Ákite comes from, a gift from the Apuriná natives of the Amazon Jungle of Brazil, with whom he lived prior to beginning his professional artistic activity.

The themes of his works express the human and the natural, through portraits, everyday scenes and natural environments. His works transmit through abstract geometric lines an essential naturalness and emotionality.

Ákite's Works can be found in the format of Paintings, Sheets and Murals in Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Spain and the United States.
