I come from a family of artists and have been surrounded by art my whole life.

Apart from painting, I am interested in music in all its forms, as well as cinema, theater, literature and philosophy. Thanks to art I have been able to pay for my studies at the university, help my family, and, above all, it has allowed me to travel the world and learn about different cultures, which have broadened and enriched my mind and soul.

I have been living in Mexico for 15 years, a country that changed me and is the source of my inspiration. I believe that it is innate in my being to explore in the most remote foundations of the soul that ephemeral something that goes beyond any knowledge acquired by humankind. It is these subjective sensations that I capture in each of my works.

I consider myself an aesthete, a humanist and a free thinker. My artistic style is eclectic, and I always seek new experiences. Symbolism, including impressionism, abstractionism, mysticism, and realism, is evident in my work. My goes beyond what representation since the dream nature leaves open all the doors to imagination and inventiveness. More than fixing certain ideas or figures, my compositions suggest a world of interpretive possibilities.

When painting, I feel that each of my works has an independent life, but at the same time, something of me is externalized on the canvas. It does not require much explanation; just let yourself be carried away by emotions.

“Art is an obsession of life and, in short, since we are human beings, our most tenacious obsession is the one that concerns ourselves.”

I exhibit in various individual and collective exhibitions, international fairs and art festivals. My works are in private collections in multiple parts of the world.
