Cesar Andres Barcia was born on 9 September 1986 in Santa Fe. When he was one year old, his family moved to San Rafael, Mendoza, where he spent his entire childhood and youth. On 7 September 2002, he had a cycling accident aged 15, in which he sustained a fracture of the cervical spine at the level of C5/C6. He subsequently spent a great deal of time in rehabilitation. Through numerous surgeries, he partially regained the ability to move his arms, but not the desired mobility of his hands and the rest of his body.

To continue his rehabilitation, he moved to Buenos Aires with some of his family. He attended primary and secondary school. He met the mouth painter Sergio Peña (Scholarship Holder), who told him about the VDMFK and about mouth and foot painting. In this way, art became part of his life. The Association supported him as a Scholarship Holder from 2010. He has been an Associate Member of the Association since 2025.

He began to teach himself mouth painting and participated in courses online and in person. After he began with oils and acrylics, he encountered watercolour painting, a technique that inspires him. His style could be classified as realism, although he aspires to the freedom and ease of Impressionism. His preferred subjects are flowers, still lifes, animals and Christmas themes.
