Born into a legacy of creativity, I was raised with a pencil in hand and a passion for art in my heart.
My father, a graduate of Cuba’s acclaimed Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes San Alejandro in Havana, instilled in me the foundational skills and discipline of fine art. With his guidance and a self-taught hunger to explore, I’ve spent my life crafting a unique and rebellious artistic voice. My work spans the spectrum of surrealism, pop art, and realism, blending influences from Picasso, DalÃ, the Dada movement, street art, meme culture and the vibrant energy of classic cartoons and raves. Each piece is an exploration of the raw experience of existence with hints of spirituality, sci-fi, fantasy, and the absurd.
I’ve showcased my art at venues like Social Medium in West Hills and the Pancakes and Booze Pop-Up in Los Angeles’ Arts District, where my work has been well-received and sold. Beyond creating, I like to help others become better artists. To that end, I’m currently developing a beginner art course for YouTube, with the aim to teach aspiring artists to discover their artistic potential and embrace the transformative power of creativity. I strive to be cutting-edge, technically proficient, and unapologetically marketable, crafting art that resonates with collectors, captivates audiences, and pushes the boundaries of what’s possible.
