Many artists start out without formal training, fancy awards, or solo shows—I am part of that demographic. That being said, my inclination for making art has been present since my early childhood in the Dominican Republic. Every period in my life so far has been shaped by my relationship with art—primarily drawing at first, but eventually expanding into other mediums.
It wasn’t until I reached a turning point in my personal growth around 2013 that I began dedicating more of my life to developing my technical skills as an artist. I essentially set myself on a path to close the gap between my creative instincts and their physical execution.
This has been an ongoing journey where my personal growth and the work I create are continuously intertwined.
My work is undoubtedly infused with a 20+ year career in the field of graphic design. Spending so many years playing with color and developing an instinct for layout and composition has been a valuable asset whenever I’m in front of a canvas or sketchbook. This background made me comfortable with color palettes and the interaction of values.
My creative toolbox also includes over five years of experience as a professional mural painter in the advertising industry. I've worked on a freelance basis for one of the major mural painting companies in the U.S., contributing to projects on an ongoing basis. This path has helped me further develop my painting skills—especially on a large scale—and has influenced my technique and understanding of color blending and application. The broad range of subject matter I’ve encountered has also given me a clearer understanding of, and focus on, my own preferences as a painter.
