Welcome to My Art Portfolio
About Me
I seek to create environments that feel alive, cohesive, and visually engaging, supporting storytelling and themes through craft and precision. My vision for each piece is to capture a moment in time, whether it be still life or an activity at hand. While at times this work is art for art’s sake, my art ultimately seeks to situate the viewer in a reflective role about a moment in life.
Consequently, a passion for creating immersive, story-driven environments through paint and surface design drives my work. I focus on how color, light, and texture contribute to believable worlds, whether applied to a flat surface or a dimensional object. I favor using charcoal to explore line, value, and contour, but my mixed media also includes acrylic paint, markers, oil paint, ink, and pencil.
Thematically, my artwork explores the relationship between symbols, feminine figures including Lady Gaga, shapes, and inspirational, whimsical, or everyday items. To do this, my work reflects my love for vibrancy and energy brought to life. Each piece celebrates contrast, light, or energy, inviting viewers to experience joy and positivity in contrast to an occasional focus on darker themes.
I take inspiration from growing up in an artistic and musical Mexican American household as I mix in everyday items in my art pieces. A handful of artists influence me on any given day, including Edgar Degas, Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Victor Moscoso and Vernon Treweeke. I expect my audience to see through the myriad of details that bring everything together or to look from afar to see their own reflections in the full picture.
Finally, a collection of my creations showcases my journey as an artist. I hope that it resonates with you and inspires you to see beauty in color and creativity.
