I was told by a friend: art isn't what you paint, is how you live.

About Me



I am a self-taught artist born in Colombia, music, arts, nature, children, cultures of the world and animals are my main interests. Everyday I try to learn something new, I like talking to all kinds of people, so when given the chance, I love painting in public places. I believe in the language of love and connection, we can transform energy by challenging ourselves, this way we add meaning to the day and come a little closer to becoming what we dream.

My Interests



Family, people, dancing, live music, cooking, nature, drawing, color, sunsets, camping, animals, working out, a little bit of everything. Love.

I'd like to meet:


Cliff jumpers, dreamers, art lovers, people who would let me paint their walls and some fish in the sea.
