"Me despierto de la luz de tus ojos."
I wake up to the light from your eyes.
To me, art and people are the light of life. I will paint a face or a person because there is a soul within that has inspired me to create a beautiful response. They say that eyes are the window to the soul and that is probably why I find an emotion in time captured best in the eyes and expression of a being. It is this moment that I capture best in painting so that it can be shared with others.
My experience living amongst the vibrant and narrative artists of New Mexico, Mexico and Chile has had a lasting impact on my painting style. I bring forth the brightest colors of my experiences and combine them with the circular compositions of light I see everywhere. The circle is a symbol that reoccurs frequently in our lives reminding us of the beginning and end of everything. A perfect completion.
I began painting murals while living in Montreal and New Mexico, partly because of my fascination with the great muralists from Mexico. Frustrated with the ephemeral nature of this medium I began painting on canvas a couple years ago and I have never looked back. I continue to be passionate and dedicated to my artistic journey.
