Born and raised in San Cristóbal, Táchira, Venezuela, in 1985. He studied Fine Arts from 1994 to the present with master Julio César Barboza. He graduated as an Architect from the Universidad del Táchira in 2009. He specializes in figurative art, including portraiture and landscaping influenced by modern expressionism. "Through artistic representation, I look for the point where realism merges with the impression, the characters I paint reflect sensitivity and romanticism, and I intend to steer the viewer through their contemplation in a similar emotional state ..." By means of the texture of the color, he incorporates to the stroke rigid architectural elements, generating stylized and consistent forms, that express emotional depth. "I want to reflect in my work the joy that simple pleasures provide us; wich can range from sunbathing or listening to the sound of the rain, to the warmth of a tender hug; and those that reopen, and reinforce, our humanity. " He currently integrates his artistic skills in various projects, such as teaching art, and musical execution, an undertaking he has reinforced through his foray into radio and theater in his city. "I combine my craft as a plastic artist with music. They are like separate creative rivers, but they go to the same sea, both languages ​​have much in common and are complementary to me. "
