PROFILE
Abstract artist born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia. Now based in Houston, TX, I started my creative career as a designer and illustrator. It was only later that painting became my main form of expression. I immigrated to the USA in 2000, and my artistic practice focuses on themes such as migration and resilience.
