I am a self taught artist currently living in Lodi, New Jersey. Originally I was born and raised in Colombia,nevertheless I consider myself a global citizen.

Creativity has been always essential to my being. I believe that art comes from oneself and should not be directed by anyone's rules or techniques, so search for new ideas and evoking new sensations is fundamental in my art.

I studied Graphic Design, which gave me a way to incorporate my love of fine art into a more marketable skill. Not only was I able to make a good living, I also had a new direction for my art. My hop...

I am a self taught artist currently living in Lodi, New Jersey. Originally I was born and raised in Colombia,nevertheless I consider myself a global citizen.

Creativity has been always essential to my being. I believe that art comes from oneself and should not be directed by anyone's rules or techniques, so search for new ideas and evoking new sensations is fundamental in my art.

I studied Graphic Design, which gave me a way to incorporate my love of fine art into a more marketable skill. Not only was I able to make a good living, I also had a new direction for my art. My hope is that people viewing my work will gain insight into my vision of the world as well as their own.

Painting is a comfortable medium to me. It comes naturally and I paint what I feel. I like to get something onto the canvas quickly so as not to lose the feeling I have at that particular moment. I either do quick skecthes and then move
right to the painting. As an artist I feel symbolism is my favorite element in my own art. To be able to sign a meaning and draw there own relation to that piece.

In creating my paintings, I try to create images that tell a story, or invoke a feeling for the subject matter. My aim is to portray this story in beautiful colors and tones that match the subject matter's mood.

Painting is such a pleasure for me that I can only hope that when I have signed my name to a finished work, that it will bring pleasure for viewers somewhere, sometime, someplace.

Thanks for your time watching my Gallery.
