It is through my work with brushes and spatula where I find my balance, through art I express my perception of reality that seeks to reflect the cultural identity of my surroundings and my roots. It is through color that all begins, embracing life as we grow and gather purpose. In my paintings I portray people, landscapes, parts of the country, etc. as a reflection of who I’m in my values, traditions and cultural beliefs.
