My love and passion for art shows in my pieces. I put into canvas all I want to express, all I want to change about the world, and all my experiences, my dreams and my deep thoughts. I really don't have the words to express what painting means to me only by painting you a picture which would contain all the joy and excitement, the love and sometimes the fear I feel within me, which is in all of us too, and that way express myself because as I said, words don't really have a lot of meaning to me, but I'll do my best.

I have been painting since I was very young. Back in Venezuela, where I was born and raised, I tried getting a formal education in art, but I just didn't want to ' start from the beginning', I wanted go full into creating what I thought I already knew. So as you can imagine, teachers didn't like that. Every class I would start, teachers wanted to start by painting/ drawing fruits or vegetables and I refused to do it, even now after all these years, I have never painted a fruit or vegetable, I thought it was the most boring thing on earth!. I wanted to paint portraits of people, landscapes, the ocean, the human figure, their expressions, their faces. That's what I wanted to do then and that's what I do now.
