Since I settled in Barcelona in 2018, my life has taken an unexpectedly artistic turn. Although I started my journey in the art world as a self-taught artist, my artistic roots quickly emerged, especially after the pandemic and an eye surgery that restored my vision. This experience inspired me to paint and represent the rich and varied indigenous Latin American culture, as well as other cultures around the world.
I am the proud creator of "Magic of the Indigenous Peoples of Latin America," the largest and most comprehensive art exhibition entirely dedicated to indigenous communities that has been presented in Barcelona. With around 90 pieces of art, including sculptures, paintings, and poetry, this exhibition has been shown three times individually and several times in different locations in Barcelona (Spain), Mérida (Venezuela), and Bogotá (Colombia).
Together with writer David Soley, I co-founded Art Fusión, a session dedicated to promoting and showcasing artists from different backgrounds, merging our art into audiovisual material. This initiative was born from our motivation to create a platform that serves as a springboard for emerging artists.
I participate in the BesArt Museum of Rio, where I contributed with a mural over 17 meters long, representing indigenous communities. This work has become an iconic image and a tribute to our Latino brothers and sisters in Barcelona. Additionally, I am an active member of the Fem Soroll de Bon Pastor group and the Fine Arts Group of the Badalona Museum.
I have also had the honor of participating in the Black Jam of Barcelona, an event that brought together more than 20 artists from different disciplines on the same stage, offering music, poetry, dance, and me, as the only painter, creating live art. Despite the challenges and confrontations I have had to overcome for my art to be respected, valued, and accepted, I continue to fight. I firmly believe that respect is the fundamental basis for everything in life. My art is a reflection of that struggle and passion, and I will continue to dedicate myself to it with all my heart.
