I thought I was born to be an athlete, but life took me on a different path. My life took a drastic turn with the birth of my first daughter. I left my studies in Business Administration and four years later I was accepted in the School of Fine Arts of Puerto Rico. Then began a personal transformation that has not ended.

I studied thoroughly the artists who proposed new paths in the history of art, from the Impressionists to the conceptual artists with Duchamp at the top of the list. I can not deny that the 20th century was a whirlwind of thematic experiments and materials. We inherited that history of which we were not part, but that affects us. During my years as a student, I put experimentation with materials at the top of priorities. I had no clear idea of my future path, but it was what I enjoyed most about the creative process.

"There are no characters or good or bad themes, there are good or bad treatments," this is a quote from Argentine writer Julio Cortázar. This quote is the heart of my work. The subject is the spark: a tree, a flower, a garden, the sky, the horizon, a rock, an eye or an arm, but I am always attentive to the spontaneous action that opens a path that I never planned.

As is normal for most artists, I do not live in my work, but I do not stop investing in it. Although I tried other artistic media such as writing and cinema with relative success, life moves in circles and I always end up returning to painting.

Today I work as a Volleyball Assistant at the University of Evansville in Indiana, because the sport was the illusion I grew up with and the one that gives me the income to live, but art is the oxygen that allows me to live.
