Chichoni was born in a desolate hamlet in Corral de Bustos, province of Córdoba, and is self-taught in art.
He spent two times studying under the painter Álvaro Izurieta, and began to draw book covers for several publishers, becoming soon renowned in all the world for his powerful and well-detailed anatomies.
His main collaboration is for the Italian editor Arnoldo Mondadori's science fiction series Urania and its spin-offs.
He collaborated on the graphic part of the videogames Starship Titanic by Douglas Adams and Broken Sword 3.
Chichoni's best-known style combines mechanical intricacy and sensuality in a striking statement of Art Deco reborn.
