Who I Am As an Artist

As an artist, I am a provocateur and a visionary, constantly challenging the norms of abstract realism with each piece I create. My process is a dialogue with my materials, where spontaneous bursts of creativity meet structured layers of technique. This balance creates a dynamic platform for the imagery I create with vibrant colors and bold textures.

How I Got Here

I love blending the rigors of abstract realism with the depth of personal and universal narratives. My early forays into art were characterized not by makeshift materials of childhood play but by the deliberate choice of pens, paints, and sharpies, tools that allowed me precision and the freedom to explore my burgeoning creativity. This foundation set the stage for a lifelong commitment to exploration and expression through art. After a successful marketing career promoting large-scale exhibitions at prestigious art museums and contributing to the boards of galleries, I embraced the call of my own artistic practice. My educational journey culminated in a transformative period at the Milan Art Institute, where I refined my technique and solidified my artistic vision.

Today, my studio is a hub of relentless creativity, reflecting my commitment to my artistic pursuit. With each painting in this series, I jumped deeper into my Dominican roots, offering collectors not just artwork but a window into a realm where each piece connects the artist’s soul and the world.

Art with Impact

A portion of all art sales benefits Students International, an organization supporting transformative educational initiatives in Santiago, Dominican Republic, where my roots lie. This collaboration is more than just charity; it is a bridge connecting my artistic endeavors with my heritage and the aspirations of the youth in Santiago.
