My purpose: beauty, and hope for everydayness that overwhelms. Brushstroke of my feeling that is recreated infinitely in each nuance, in each color you want to impact and recite that there is hope, that there is aesthetics that contribute in others to follow your path, your dreams, your freedom to be, to do and to have no limits. In the spiritual I am inspired; my soul translates it and returns to others with modesty to support them, to give them encouragement and life, so that they can build their own creation of survival with my company, with my poetry. Thank you life, thanks instant creator!

I develope my artistic career in my country, Venezuela. I start working in private galleries as an assistant technical for the Inventory, Diagnosis and Conservation of Works. Then I participate in the project of restoration of the Federal Legislative Palace (seat of the Legislative Power in Venezuela), in the investigative phase from the pictorial works belonging to the Palace collection, and in the intervention for the restoration of the work "Batalla de Boyacá" (“Boyacá Battle”), of the famous Venezuelan painter of the 19th century Martín Tovar y Tovar. In parallel, and later, I form part from diverse research and restoration projects,...

I receive my first painting lessons from the hand of the artists María Eugenia Arria and Onofre Frías, in the Art Institute Federico Brandt, in Caracas.

Later I study the career of "History of Plastic Arts and Museology" at the José María Vargas University, which culminate with honors. During these years take part in numerous updating workshops in the area of conservation and restoration of works of art, both in Venezuela and outside the country.

Then I continue my training in design, drawing and painting, in Caracas, and in the field of the arts, at a distance at the International Celebrity Center, Los Angeles, USA.
