My father was a painter.

I grew up in a rich artistic environment surrounded by beautiful paintings, art, books, artist friends and regular visits to art museums in Mexico City.

I learned from my fathers example of merits of discipline and commitment to the creative process. I attended La Esmeralda for two years, one of the prominent art schools in Mexico City. I studied color theory and composition for another 2 years at an atelier with Roger Von Günten.

I developed a personal style, that could be described as lyrical abstraction, on which I worked for a couple of decades.

In 2012 I moved with my family to Sedona, Arizona. With a big geographical move came big changes to my art. I began attending regular figure drawing sessions and became more interested in representational art into which I have taken a deep dive and have been studying with various teachers for the past decade.

I have now become fully immersed in representational art in oils and I have found my passion in process painting, which involves painting in layers during multiple sessions, allowing each layer of paint to dry in between.

I am deeply fascinated by the poetic quality of the interaction between light and form. Based on observation, perception and interpretation I seek to find balance between light and shadow, defined and undefined elements and a rational and intuitive approach to painting.
