I love creating art across various mediums like watercolor, acrylic, graphite, ink, digital art, and 3D sculpting. My favorite subjects are humans, which inspire my portrait work, along with nature. My style blends whimsy, gothic elements, and nostalgia, filled with vibrant colors. I enjoy telling stories through my art and relish the opportunity to bring someone’s vision to life through commissions. Whether it’s a quick doodle or a detailed project, I express emotion with lines and colors.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the world around me. Music that stirs my soul, films that ignite my imagination, vibrant colors, cherished memories, and the unique trinkets I collect. My Mexican heritage and culture influence my artistry, beauty of nature, and the captivating essence of humans and animals. When I create, I immerse myself in music that elevates my spirit & my visions into art. My heart is drawn to whimsical, gothic, & organic form infused with nostalgia.
What would you do with $25,000?I would seize the opportunity to secure a studio space where I dream of funding my first art solo exhibition a captivating showcase where my work can spark dialogue and inspire connections. I envision developing an art brand that will be passionate about creating empowering artworks. This brand could evolve into a museum a curated gallery where I can collaborate with artists across various platforms, inspiring community voices and igniting transformative social change through the power of art.
