The fileteado is an artistic style of painting and drawing typically from Buenos Aires' -Argentina, which is characterized by lines that become spirals, strong colours, the recurring use of symmetry, three-dimensional effects through shadows and perspectives, and an overloaded use of surface.
Its decorative repertoire includes mainly stylizations of leaves, animals, cornucopias, flowers, flags, and precious stones.
In December 2015, it was declared an intangible cultural heritage of humanity by the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of UNESCO.
