About the Artist

Some years ago I left my graphic designer work and focus all my time in painting... I decided to spend my life doing the thing that I do better and make me feel happy and creative : Paint.

This road has but made hungrier for knowledge of the arts and cultures, desire to know subjects and a need to portray them on paper, capturing something in them by means of sight and letting it see the light in two dimensions with my hands.
