I paint my own reality. The only thing i know is that i paint because i need to, and i paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration..... Frida Kahlo

La Siete Potencias - las Bendiciones

It was with my family that I first learned to appreciate the importance of an artistic community. Being surrounded by so many creative people provided me with a nurturing artistic environment that encouraged me to explore and learn without boundaries. My family and life experience is what leads my hand and nourishes my creativity. Some of my favorite artists are Frida Kahlo, Goya and Picasso just to name a few. I enjoy experimenting with various mixed mediums. My favorite subjects to paint are of culture, emotion and spirituality. I enjoy sampling various existences and experiences. The driving force behind my work is very personal. It is an influence of family, culture and a deep sense of spirituality.
