Nicolás Barrios-Lynch

He was born in Chilecito, La Rioja, the first son of Argentine arts student Romualda Barrios and Chilean artist Enrique Lynch del Solar.

Completing his studies at the National College of Buenos Aires, Nicolás obtained his teacher's[2] degree, which allowed him to accept a job in the public education system, first taking teacher posts in rural schools, which allowed him to know the interior of the country and live for some years in Chubut teaching in Welsh schools.

After this work experience, he would return to study at the University of Buenos Aires, where he received his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Letters.

At this point in his life, he began his essayist activity, writing texts under pseudonyms or for other writers known as a ghostwriter, a task that led him to enter circles of "porteño intellectuals" (Intellectuals of Downtown Buenos Aires) of the time by the hand of his cousin Adolfo Bioy Casares who invited him to participate in Sur magazine, a literary magazine of Victoria Ocampo through who would meet his future wife, fashion journalist "Péle" Pelegrina Pastorino.

At the end of his studies, Nicolás completed his work as a professor in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, where his stepfather has always had great influence, so he decided to change his career path and entered the Argentine Public Service eventually becoming Director of Public Schools Libraries and a Pioneer in the sustainable development of the Chilecito's ecotourism.
