Artist Statement:
I was born on July 6, 1971. As a child, I developed a deep love for the beauty of the countryside and the exquisite architecture of my hometown. I participated in drawing contests at the tender age of 9 where landscapes were always my favorite theme. When I became an adolescent, I started taking art classes at the local art school and later decided to devote myself to painting and craftwork to support my parents financially.
When I arrived at the United States I began the pursuit of my goals and like all beginnings for an immigrant painter I began to paint anything that was requested from me like a still life, a landscape or a portrait.
Later in 1999, I devoted myself to painting murals and decorative effects. Then in 2003, I received the American citizenship. And one year later I created my own corporation called Artistic Illusions Painting, Inc. registered in the state of Florida. Subsequently, I took classes to excel in art at Art Florida Academy and Abdon J. Romero Art Studio with Master Abdon Romero where he graduated of Drawing course.
Today I paint from his own studio in Miami for a living. Captivated by my love for the beauty of the Landscapes, my last works are what I see even in the most common scenes: the close relationship of life and who we are with the natural world around us that asks us to respect and care for it.
