Could you share with us about your upbringing and what initially sparked your creative journey?

I was born in Caracas, Venezuela, but grew up in Valencia a different city I hold dear My childhood was spent watching my mom paint, which, at the time, seemed more like a hobby to me Never did I imagine that I would become an artist myself Instead, I was drawn to the spotlight, aspiring to be an actor and singer. However, it seems artistry was in my DNA all along I found myself immersed in painting at home, and before I knew it, my casual hobby had blossomed into a full-time career as a visual artist And here we are I absolutely love what I do!

Should we unearth some of your earliest artwork, what narratives and themes could we expect to unfold before our eyes?

I found it funny that people often expected me to paint something serious truth be told, I'd quickly lose interest Instead, I generally leaned toward an abstract style, often adopting a 'breaking the rules' approach Interestingly, I've never taken an art class, and, in hindsight, I'm actually glad I didn't. I'm not suggesting one shouldn't attend art classes it's just that my personal journey unfolded differently There's something special about being self-taught that I genuinely appreciate
