This is one of the studies I made during the Siamese series with the purpose of uncovering new techniques and territory for the last three paintings of the series. The name Semuc Champey comes from a river in Guatemala that disappears into a mountain and reappears on the other side. It was one of the most beautiful places I encountered growing up and the shapes and color of the study reminded me to it. I used iridescent acrylic in some of the detail giving it a metallic shimmer when the light reflects on the piece. About the Siamese series: Three years in the making, the Siamese series was inspired by the strong, yet flowing nature of Siamese fighting fish. I created this body of work with the goal of making it the transition from a full-time job working with technology startups in Silicon Valley to one where art, my calling, would take the center stage. Therefore, the whole series evolved in parallel to the mental and emotional journey of pursuing a goal regardless of obstacles and difficulty. The colorful brushstrokes are meant to convey the vivacious and flowing nature of Siamese fighting fish; and, the meticulous metal patchwork is meant to resemble thousands of scales, but most importantly, the armor and strength of a warrior. The painting includes hanging hardware, and is hand-signed on the back. The piece does not need to be framed because I paint the border. It also includes an authenticity certificate as it is a unique piece and I do not make prints or reproductions. 10% of the net proceeds of my art go to nonprofits that support economic development, and mental health in marginalized communities.

I was born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras in 1989 but spent my entire life moving throughout Latin America and the United States. As such, the process of navigating assimilation in changing environments has remained a constant in my life and is at the root of my research. I began my creative explorations at the age of five though ballet and modern dance; however, over the past nine years I have primarily focused on painting. Through my grand, vibrant, and layered paintings I explore my personal narrative as it relates to immigration, self-identity, and the human experience of moving through space and time. I currently live and work in New York City.
