I was born in Barranquilla, Colombia, in 1985, but my path to art was anything but conventional. I originally trained as a civil engineer, specializing in project management, and spent over a decade in the construction industry. Yet, with every completed project, I felt an unshakable sense that something was missing.

Following my instincts, I pursued a different kind of structure – one built on creativity rather than blueprints. I moved to Florence, Italy, to study interior architecture, immersing myself in a city where art is woven into every street. Museums, Renaissance masterpieces, and European travels reshaped my perspective, and it was there that I rediscovered drawing – something I hadn’t done since childhood.

Since 2020, what began as exploration has become a full-time commitment. Though I once believed my artistic passion surfaced suddenly, I now see it as something deeper, a legacy passed down through generations. My mother, a talented artist, and my grandfather before her carried this creative force, and in many ways, I am continuing their story in my own way.

“Through my drawings, I seek to evoke mysticism and sensuality, creating a bridge between reality and the surreal. My work invites viewers into a world where the familiar transforms, where the lines between the tangible and the fantastical dissolve.

Deeply influenced by my Colombian heritage and the magical realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, my art reflects a universe where transformation is inevitable – where figures exist in a state of becoming. Wings emerge as extensions of the body, movement lingers in stillness, and presence is both ephemeral and eternal.

Each piece is meticulously planned, with composition and detail carefully constructed to guide the viewer’s experience. Using graphite and charcoal on cotton, I focus on precision and depth, crafting figures that transcend their physical form while remaining grounded in an undeniable reality. My goal is to create works that provoke emotion and curiosity, drawing the viewer into a narrative that unfolds beyond the page.”
