I was born in Chile, a place where equality is far from being achieved more than any other region in the world. Under this condition I worked on concepts such as segregation and overcrowding, I feel very representative of my country. So, my works translate my political, social and aesthetic concerns, often from the person's relationship with the landscape and the limits proposed capital between them.

From childhood I had interest in painting, figuration was an early obsession, tracing cartoon was a constant practice. With a little more experience, I dared to bring my drawings to another level, then, at age 12 was my first mural, inspired by the death of dictator Augusto Pinochet.

From there my artistic aspirations were growing and my work evolve both technically and fundamentally. 2012 I decided to study Visual Arts at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, where he also received an academic degree in History and Theory of Art and Aesthetics academic certificate in Film.

2013 Certificado Académico en Historia y Teoría del Arte en la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
