BIOGRAPHY
I demonstrated my artistic skills from a very early age, and as a child, I had my first experience using oil on canvas and, from then on, I never stopped, always challenging myself searching for improving my artwork day by day.
Always interested in creating new works, and due to my skills in drawing, I developed a deep intimacy with shapes, volumes and colors, submerging figures that jump off the canvas in a tree-dimensionality that makes the viewer feel emotional.
In my process I work with layers of acrylic paints and finishing with oil, thus bringing the ideal volume to the desired shapes
I believe that making art or being an instrument to provide Art to someone makes all the difference in people’s lives.

STATEMENT
The primary objective is to captivate the viewer, encouraging contemplation and evoke the sensation that the depicted figure is emerging vividly from the canvas.
I seek to provoke the audience to discover the hidden forms in my work
