ABOUT ME

I began oil painting in high school and quickly became obsessed with the medium when I would skip other classes just to spend more time working in the art room. My first commissioned job was to paint for a local Puerto Rican restaurant at 16. I remember falling in love with the feeling of displaying my work for the public to see.

My early experiences sparked my curiosity and shaped the way I perceived my surroundings. Painting encouraged me to slow down and develop a deeper appreciation for the details in the natural world around me. Portraits and figures, human emotion, light and color- all of these became the center of my attention as I became enamored by painting while also deep diving into my imagination.

Fast forward to present day- my canvases have evolved to over 3,000 sq/ft. As a mural artist, I paint a diverse range of subjects that focus on portraiture, culture, nature, and landscape. I like to believe that my work reflects the rich tapestry of life by my use of symbolism and cultural diversity. Inspired by my Colombian roots, my artwork pays homage to Colombia’s rich biodiversity by incorporating vibrant hues of flora and fauna in a majority of my pieces.

Through my murals, I aim to evoke a sense of harmony and appreciation for the world that we sometimes take for granted.

With years of experience, I bring a careful eye for detail and a meticulous approach to every project I undertake. Whether capturing the soulful gaze of a portrait subject or the graceful movements of a wild animal, my murals are saturated with a sense of life and energy that captivates and inspires.

I thrive on the collaborative process of mural painting, working closely with clients, communities, and fellow artists to bring visions to life and transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary works of art.
