About

Born and raised in Costa Rica. I have been a professional artist for some years now, but not enough that I’ve run out of things to say. I’m passionate about portraying my surroundings in a uniquely personal way, and if given the chance, to do so at a large scale. I like experimenting, but at the same time enjoy the beauty of tradition. I think you can see that clearly in my work, and I wear that like a badge of honor.

Having spent so much time in different countries and cultures, I believe I have a wide understanding of the world and its people, at least on the western hemisphere. I have seen people of all ages and places express themselves in all kinds of ways, and I’ve always been willing to learn and be open-minded. I put everything into my art. It doesn’t only represent me but also all my experiences and of those around me.

But no matter where I go, I keep coming back to my home country, Costa Rica. That is where I operate and where you’ll find me. If you live in the country or are simply visiting, I hope we cross paths! And let’s talk about art and the world.
