As a visual artist and immigrant, my work is a tribute of my cultural heritage and an echo of my identity as a Latino. My art is a personal tribute to my ancestors and a way for me to connect with my roots. Through my art, I aim to open a window to the beauty and diversity of my culture. It is also a way for me to share my experiences and perspectives with the world and my goal is to create paintings (and other types of art) to celebrate beauty and life, what we are and what we love, at least from my particular point of view, and I do Art because I need to do it, and I really want express myself beyond words with images, light, colors, shapes and traces, trying to be as close as possible to what I want to share of my personal travel.
