Contemporary painter based in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur.

My work explores the exploration of identity through gestural abstraction, material experimentation, and symbolic repetition. At the core of my practice is an instinctive, emotional necessity: painting becomes a space for externalizing inner states — a way of translating memory, identity, and vulnerability into form. Rather than delivering fixed messages, my work invites the viewer into a shared emotional field: a space to feel, to sit with contradictions, and to inhabit the paradox of pain that lingers as a strangely pleasurable trace.

Working with acrylics, oil sticks, pastels, and industrial materials on raw cotton fabric, I build compositions through layered gestures — some delicate, others forceful — drawing directly with paint, applying pigment from the tube, and manipulating absorption while preserving the fabric’s organic texture. My visual language balances control and surrender through rhythmic lines, organic motifs, and earthy yet vibrant tones. Deep ochres, rich reds, and muted blues evoke the tension between presence and absence, instinct and intention. Marks, materials, and forms act as carriers of meaning, offering insight into the unspoken and the unformed.

My creative path began with graffiti and poetic street interventions in my teenage years, driven by a desire for emotional immediacy. I later studied figurative drawing and explored photography extensively, developing a sensitivity to composition and human presence. Over time, painting emerged as the medium through which I could fully channel both instinct and reflection.

A pivotal moment in this evolution came with Flowers I Never Gave (2025) — a deeply personal body of work born from the residue of unexpressed emotions and connections that never came to be. Each flower represents a silent gesture, an emotion that shaped what remains unsaid.

As part of a new phase in my ongoing exploration of identity, I am beginning to explore materials as a language — creating my own pigments and paints, inspired by the materiality of the desert that surrounds me. This direction, while not yet part of my current body of work, marks the next step in my practice.
