Edo: Hi Ignacio,  I am flattered you chose this site for your story, let's start up with your background.

Ignacio: I am 27. I was born in Buenos Aires, in the southern part of it. My mother is Italian. She arrived in Argentina when she was six. My father was born in Argentina, but his grandfather was Italian too, and his other grandfather was German. I studied there, in a bilingual school,  then I attended the University to study Business Administration.

Edo: I know you are a model as well as an actor, how did you start your career?

Ignacio: When I finished Bussiness, I started studying Psychology. When I was in my third year, a friend asked me to be part of his own clothing brand campaign, in Argentina. I agreed and then I started modeling with the help of the photographer of that photo shoot.

I started studying acting last year in BOGOTA Colombia, with RCN Television. I was part of a big project  but after 6 month of rehearsal and taking classes the project manager and I get in different directions, and I returned to Mexico  to model.

Edo: How do you rate beauty and elegance in your life? Do you think these attributes may help to succeed?

Ignacio: For sure. Beauty is symmetry. It is a very important part in the life of a model to be able to succeed.

Edo:  What aspect of modeling is your favourite and what aspect is your least favourite?

Ignacio:  I am very comfortable with photo shoots, with all the planning of it, with the creative act of making something new and being able to transmit something to the public. The prejudice, that is something that models have to deal with every day. People that believe that all of us are the same.

Edo: What are your personal and professional goals?

Ignacio: Professionnaly, I want to  achieve bigger campaigns and continue escalating. Personaly I want to grow to be a better person, to find a path of peace, of inlighting.

Edo: Let's talk about women, who is your ideal woman?

Ignacio: Well, I love sweetness and kindness in a woman.  With Objectives: a woman that knows what she wants, and that she is not afraid of going for it.

Edo: Thanks Ignacio  for sharing your story with us. Would you like to leave a message to your fans around the world?

Ignacio: Sure, here is my message:  "Rebuilt, from the ground. Isn't it??? That is the way great people are. Not afraid of failure, but with the strength to continue, to get up with  your knees bleeding. Many people would like to see you failing. Cause your failure will show them that is not possible to do it. That people should not try to pursue your dreams. Be a dreamer. I am one of those.

 " Dream as if you’ll never die, Live, as is you’ll die tomorrow"  We are as good or as bad as our dreams. Pursue them, cause you will be chasing your own happiness. Go for it, Go for yourself. Silence the voices of the ones that already give up on their dreams.

Listen to your inner voice, telling you to keep going, to continue. Try harder. Believe in you, in your dreams. Make your spirit hard, and your soul will flow. Will liberate the energy to achieve your desires. Wish, and believe that you have the strength to achieve your wishes. We are master and commanders of our destiny. 

You will find the crew that you need to prevail, to help you in this quest that life give us. The quest is to find the energy to make our dream come true. Find the people, the places, the things what will encourage you to continue, get surrounded of these persons. Surrounded of love. Avoid problem, People that gives you trouble after trouble.

Life is too short to be worried about little things. Open yourself to the ones that want nothing from you, but to fulfill your dreams. No one gives you something for nothing, so be rich.

Get full of love, of feelings, of experiences, and be wise to walk away from people that try to manipulate you, to charge you with guilt. 

Get rid of that kind of people, of that kind of feelings, Master your life with the joy of good thoughts, of good friends., few, but good…"
