Ancestral Echoes, Living Resistance

"I am a mestizo artist. My ancestors were indigenous and European. I was born In Colombia and raised in Venezuela where the majority of the people are of mixed ethnicity. I became interested in art as a child because I loved wandering the streets of Caracas looking at the street art and the graffiti. I could literally see and hear the roots of the diverse ancient cultures in art, music, food and politics. 

I went to University to study Fine Arts at the University of Los Andes and discovered more about the art in the Americas (Abya Ayala: name that the Inca civilization called the territory from Patagonia to Alaska ) and the European traditions. I have a passion to create and share the beauty through my art practice, enveloping my western art style education within my Mestizo heritage. I have collaborated with local galleries in 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó and Denver and participate and lead some mural projects in the area. I have exhibited my work locally, nationally and internationally, currently focusing my artistic practice in Colorado mostly."
