"Color rules my work. It speaks deeply and loudly, expressing deep and raw emotions. An open narrative that encourages self-discovery and revelation. A story based not so much on what is said, but what is not… visual conversations about life.”

My work is highly influenced by color field abstract expressionism, a style in which I ventured during the 15 years I lived in Washington DC. It consists primarily of medium and large-format acrylic and mixed-media works on wood, where countless overlapping layers of color express the complexity of emotions. I exhibit solo and collectively in Washington DC, New York, Spain, and Mexico.

My creative process is a deep excavation, a dissection of the emotional process between soul and sight. I do not want viewers to see what I see in my work, but to get immersed in their own version, in their own experience ... in their own story.

Joy, love, sorrow, frustration, excitement... A warm orange-red cheers up a gloomy midnight blue… A bold, jealous, deep purple takes over… Let’s invite a bit of white to make peace. And so these large fields of color start talking to and playing with each other, layer over layer, foundation colors under translucent colors under contrasting colors, it’s all a moving target of shapes, lines, and textures. Rolling, brushing, dripping, spattering. They all add up to tell the story.

 
 

I studied abstractionism, color, mixed media, expressionism, encaustic and monotypes, among others, in The Art League in Alexandria, VA and the Atlantic Pyramid Art Center in Washington, DC, mainly under the tutelage of Marsha Staiger.

My work has been recognized by the Washington DC Council for the Arts and Humanities, the Arlington and the Alexandria Town Hall Councils in Virginia, and the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, Virginia. In addition, I have received reviews in The Washington Post, The Examiner, and the Washington Blade, among others.

I currently live in Mexico City, my home town.
