Born in August '86 and an advertiser by profession, my art reflects the city I live in—Guatemala City (and, I dare say, Latin culture as a whole). It’s a place where history, chaos, and culture collide on every corner.

From the vibrant colors of my palette to the shouts of street vendors, my work is rooted in what I experience daily.

Pop art is a clear influence, but what truly drives me is the irreverent spirit of my social environment—the streets filled with untold stories, the bustling markets, and the graffiti that covers the walls.

I’m not interested in perfection or softness. What moves me is the raw, the direct, what shakes you and invites you to look deeper—or simply what I like. And that’s okay.
