Germán Mingramm, was born on June 22, 1982 in Mexico City, Mexico. From a very early age he found a great interest in writing, since it gave him a great way to express himself, even in spite of his enormous introversion.
However, over the years, Germán also acquired considerable enthusiasm for graphic art, especially the more abstract, surreal and modern; as well as, for involving certain poetry and philosophical touches in what he wrote.
However, he studied Agricultural Engineering at the Monterrey Institute of Technology for Higher Studies (ITESM), Querétaro campus, since in parallel, he felt a strong call to work in the field and outdoors; And curiously, during his first semesters, he discovered another very important passion, that of plant genetic improvement.

There, he collaborated for more than 3 years with scientists; but especially, with those of the corn program, Harvest Plus, which is focused on the biofortification of Provitamin A, Iron and Zinc in the crop.
Likewise, during this same period, he continued with his academic studies, obtaining a master’s degree in Genetic Resources and Seed Productivity from the Postgraduate College.
However, at the beginning of 2012, Germán decided to resume his other great flight; writing, the world of art, subjectivity, poetry and letters, in order to finish his first novel; and simultaneously, to compile in another book the best poems that he had managed to write in recent years. “En Tierra de Exiliados” was published in early 2014 and his collection of poems, “Suspiros de la Vida” with 90 poems and abstract sketches was published at the end of 2012.
