Biography

Ariel Pytrell was born on September 5, 1964 in Buenos Aires, Argentina to Vicente Humberto Pitrella (b.1944) and his wife, Ana Rosa Pitrella, née Ana Rosa Semole (1945-2005). Ariel has a younger sister, Andrea Pitrella, who was born on February 27, 1969, and a younger brother, Damián Pitrella, born June 18, 1972.

From an early age Ariel found much joy in creating stories and tales of adventure. His lifelong dedication to writing was inspired by his fascination with words, the mystery of which captivated his soul. Even as a child he appreciated the gifts of reading and writing, and being an avid reader, he soon became familiar with most of the greatest writers of all time: Jorge Luis Borges, JRR Tolkien, UK LeGuin, William Shakespeare, WB Yeats, Mark Twain and Emilio Salgari.

Interspersed in his career as an author, is Ariel's considerable involvement in theater and television as an actor, playwright and director, and on an academic level, as a drama teacher and creator of the Neodrama genre. <-- not happy with how this sounds...
