Profile
Art has played an immensely important role in my life from a very young age, and there has never been any doubt in my mind that I would pursue it as a career.
I was born in Colombia, and raised in Spain, England and France. I took my Bachelor of Arts at Penn State University and graduated on May 2008. From there I moved to New York City for a year where I interned at two great galleries; Lana Santorelli Gallery and Opera Gallery New York.
I am currently living in London. I am getting a studio on December at the Wimbledon Art Studios where I plan on building up a body of work for the next exhibition on May 2010
In my gallery you will find my latest work, including some of my college art work. My favourite media are Oil Paints and Pastels. I love both as I can manipulate them with ease, even when I paint I like to use my fingers to blend the paint on the canvas.
Favourite artists: the Impressionists. I love Monet’s work.
I will be adding bigger images of some of the works once I get the files from my old laptop
Enjoy=)
