ARTIST STATEMENT

"As an artist that lived in the chaos and contrasts of cities like Caracas and New York, I learned to question everything around me. This sparked and fueled my need to rebel against what I perceived as standardized images of Latino Culture representation. I reject the ideas that put the meaning of being Latino in a box of bright Crayola colors, and favor the more muted side of our culture. Through the intimate act of painting, I aim to expose the wounds on my own cultural skin, the scars of its history, and the psychological crevices of my Hispanic heritage".
