I started drawing when I was 8 years old, from there I had my first art gallery exhibit when I was 9 years old. I have been in a few art galleries since I was 9 years old and till now, I all was loved trying to learn every new thing I could growing up making art.
My artwork is a reflection of my life. I choose to paint the things that inspire me and my hope is that they bring joy to everyone. I grew up in Spain and I feel extremely lucky to have done so. I hope to point out all the beauty around us and remind everyone to focus their attention on them.
My continuous curiosity has made me explore different types of mediums from encaustic (wax) to pastels and everything in between. Most of my recent work is oils and watercolor.
My most recent exhibition was a one-man show at Monument Sotheby's International in July 2020

I am Baltimore-based mixed media artist as well as a rogue pathologist, art history nerd, world traveler, and aficionado of great literature. These eclectic interests unite into a unique visual voice. My art incorporates hand-cut collage, acrylic paint, altered photographs, clay, beads, and whatever odds and ends find their way into my hellaciously messy studio. What comes out the other end is a dizzying array of boxes, journals, wall pieces, assemblages, cards, and prints. Mixed media gives me an enormous sandbox to play in as each piece evolves.
