Filete

So, I've mentioned before how much I'm into the "Filete" art they have here. It's less of an "art form", more of a style of decoration, very typical of Argentina. It's everywhere, and I love love love it! Today I bought another little sign for myself. I also chatted up the "Filetador" in the San Telmo market and he told me a little bit about it. Then I just googled it, and found this little article...click here

Theeennn, in the article, it mentions the workshop of Martiniano Arce. I pass by this building everyday, it's also right across from the Origen Cafe that I love so much. I'm always looking at it, thinking it's so pretty, and it has a filete style sign outside...but whatever, everything does. So turns out, it's a workshop and home of a well known filetador, and I guess, we can go inside?? I'm so gonna try tomorrow, I can't wait!
