Biography

In order to see the 'impossible', you need to see the 'invisible';
My art is a 'leap',only if the viewer can 'listen';

My work speaks in the future tense,in the context of time,a painter. I choose not to privilege any one medium. The emotional and psychological content of my subject,the way the body expresses its emotion. It contextualizes the concepts of the duality of the meaning of the imagery. My style is an expression of my philosophy which becomes a language,using,Post Modern,Expressionism,Latin American Tradition,Surrealism,soft Classism and Photography. It expresses my deep awareness of global issues and is counterbalanced with my cultural heritage.
My inspiration originates from life/nature; Its too spiritual to express. However,it is the same expressive energy as the work,transfused between energies;I use a certain iconography,which becomes a language. My art has helped me to see that nothing on earth is solitary,all things are interlinked.
