Artist Statement
My journey in art began in Lima, Peru, and has evolved over decades of dedicated practice and stylistic development. I draw inspiration from the inherent beauty of everyday life, translating my observations and visual experiences into works that celebrate color and form. My practice is characterized by an interest in light and the capturing of diverse subjects—including landscapes, figures, and still lifes. I value the opportunity to exhibit my work and engage with the broader artistic community. Through my paintings, I invite viewers to experience the world through my lens and share in the joy that art brings to our daily lives.
