My whole life I have been fascinated by art, especially contemporary works based on Abstract Expressionism. My mother was an art teacher and from her I learned to see art in everything. Growing up I explored all of my interests: skateboarding, dancing, acting, singing, and team sports. But none of these hobbies satisfied me the way art does.
One year I went to a school in the Richmond district of San Francisco. That year serendipity struck me hard. I have no idea why or how it did it was just one of those rare moments in life being in that certain time and place. It was the strong world of graffiti art writing. It was so much fun to do and I completely fell in love with it. The seed was planted and born in me. I was completely obsessed to everything about it.
After many years of staying away from the creativity of arts I have had the opportunity to once again have fun painting. When I paint I try to strike the viewer using bright colors, mixed media and lots of contrast. My imagination has no limits or boundaries when I am in my space and I let it all go. It is a moment where I relax let my thoughts run completely wild with freedom and without rules. When I finish a project I feel proud of myself and fulfilled. This brings peace to my heart and mind. So much of the art in this sensitive world moves me. Thank you so much for taking the time to view my personal space here.
