My journey   started  with   me drawings anime as a kid. Later on I moved  to   abstract before landing on my current style, contemporary.    Most of my paintings  have been inspired by  post-impressionism  creations,   as  I too paint to evoke  emotion.   My    paintings emerge from my emotions,  they allow me  to look past    my fears and create a safe place where I can feel like myself. When i paint with acrylic or watercolors i take my inspiration from my environment and nature. I like these paintings to have   organic shapes. I'm a big fan of Disney  mainly because of the colour palette and emotional storytelling. I also pay homage to my Incan heritage by using gold and vibrant colors.  I connect with  rococo style,  because of   it's    elegance and immediate  architectural impact it has. 

​

I started my formal education with Art at OCAD University in Drawing and Painting. In my second year of study i decided to major in Illustration. Since then I have learned  many digital skills  and have even pursued my interest in photography.  My time in University  has allowed me to explore different types of styles, my favorites include texture, layers and bright colours. 

​

My journey as an artist, has brought me so much joy and curiosity over the years.  My  recent paintings    have    been  about  Fear. Fear  has    encouraged    me to    express what I truly want, by taking what I am afraid of and turning it into    what if's;  What if I didn't feel  scared, alone or worried.? To accomplish this, I like to  visualize  a specific emotion of a moment I've had then I proceed to paint any negative  feelings i have into something positive.  My semi-abstracted paintings and digital work are the best representation of me.  I hope to be able to help others   feel, recognize and process  emotions and experiences.
