I was born and raised in Denver Colorado where I still reside at the moment, (dreams of a second home across the Atlantic are always on the back of my mind)

I have taken Photography, Drawing and Commercial Art classes, but am mostly self taught. I love to bring a lot of emotion into my work recapturing those little moments in my life. I am also greatly influenced by the fashion industry as I have always had an interest in Fashion Design and the aspects that make up an editorial in fashion/photography/makeup..

I am a freelance all around Artist/Photographer. I am never settling on one thing or the other. I have always been the curious one in that I need to continue to grow, you will see a lot of that in my various pieces of work. I also worked as a Makeup Artist which has influenced my work greatly.

I started selling my Art in 2003, joining Etsy in 2007 and now lucky enough to work full time doing what I love each and everyday.

“I did not start like most of the artists I’ve met. As I’ve been listening, a majority of them had been enthusiastic about Art, almost since they were born, as a native desire to create or express themself.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t like that to me. It was like a research of what I did better. I really had no interest in drawing or art culture. I completely unknew there were people living and working on Art. Despite my childish ignorance, I had already an easily skill to draw or rather that, a facillity to represent what I saw on paper.

At the age of 12, I started doing my first art lessons as an after-school activity, with the same educational purpose as parents take their children to music lessons or sport activities. By the way, I also did those other activities.

I’ve always been a bad student and I had a fervent tendency to distractions. I used to waste massive time starring at each shade, light that brighted onto my classmates, following the flight of a fly or how the pencil fell down while I was pushing the table up with my feet.

With tough efforts to study and gradually passing courses, years were going on with no artistic relevance up to High School when I found out what I did not like to do. I managed to pass 1st High School in Science and then I changed to Art branch to start my early knowledge about the world of Arts and people that surrounds it. Began huge family problems due to my absence from school. I failed and the following year was quite similar but less frequently non-appearence issue. Unconsciously, I became more and more interested in the artistic world, images, pictures, illustrations, featured artists… M.C. Escher was who encourages me to make draws as better as I could.

Then I realized that I could do something well done enough. After that, I started Illustration at the Escuela Superior de Diseño de las I.Baleares. There, my interests were almost clear and I decided to dedicate myself to Art and do the best I can.”

“I just like to draw things that happens in real life, I’m tired to visit contemporary art galleries or museums, all I find there it’s just like visiting primary schools on a parent’s day. They try to express themselfs in a random or painting fade throwed on a canvas or sticked trash into a litter. All it is shown is valid and allowed.”
