Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
​
I have been an artist since I was a kid, looking to express my feeling as an
explosion of emotions. I did drawings, paintings, collages and I even created puppets
with objects I found. I love imagining fantastic landscapes to create my own world.
In Altagracia my parents town, I won second
place in my first contest. Here is where I spent alot of time with several Master instructors
such as Chepin Lopez and Fernadez. They gave me tips and methods to
improve my skills and always encouraged me to think outside the box.
Later I studied in the school of Art at the University Central of
Venezuela and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Literature. After a
couple of years I decided to move to Paris, France. I moved to follow Ecole
Jacques Lecoq, a fellow artist, and to spend time with French painters in their diverse shows.
When I come back to Caracas, Venezuela, I continued to be involved
in theatrical projects. I made set décors as an artistic director.
In the ’90s, I founded my own entertainment company: TAI (Taller de Artes
Integrales/ Integrals Arts Studio ) and The Bouffon Co( The Jester Company). I always focused on
creating relations between the visual arts and diverse artistic expressions.
My artistic signature was using Impressions with Jesters and fool
iconography. I created this signature by using my life style and my favorite characters in art history.
By comparing two genius like W. Shakespeare and F. Rabelais, it fuels my imagination and helps me complete my artistic goals to this day.
