When I draw, I release my stress, anger, and pain. Sometimes I even cry it’s my therapy. No matter how it looks, it’s always perfect to me.

My favorite art to create is pop art because it lets me bring bold colors and energy to life. I’m deeply inspired by nature, especially the jungle, the Caribbean, and the Amazon. I love vibrant tropical scenes filled with rich greens, bright florals, and lively wildlife. My work reflects my passion for color, movement, and natural beauty, blending imagination with the spirit of warm, lush environments that feel alive and full of joy.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from my cultural background and imagination. I have Dominican, Mexican, and mostly Peruvian roots, and my family’s connection to the Amazon jungle deeply influences me. Even though they later moved to Lima, they shared stories and images of the rainforest, its vibrant birds, and rich landscapes. I often imagine myself there, sitting on a rock and looking up, daydreaming and exploring. That sense of wonder and connection to nature fuels my creativity and brings my art to life
