Though I currently divide my time between Kansas City and my forest retreat in Upper Peninsula Michigan, as you will see my life has had many twists and turns. I was born in 1996 in Argentina, though I moved at a young age and spent most of my childhood in Spain. My passion for art started when I was quite little – originally I learned from my mother, who is also a painter, and I then went on to attend an arts-centric secondary school.

I received my degree in Fine Arts from the Universidad de Granada (UGR), Spain. During my academic career I was also fortunate to spend a year studying in Poland at the Uniwersytet Artystyczny w Poznaniu (UAP), and another year at the Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA), Faculdade de Artes Plasticas in Salvador of Bahia, Brazil. Following graduation, I underwent extended travels in India and Nepal.

My studies in diverse cultures have provided me with a lifetime of inspiration moving forward. But more importantly, I’ve seen with my own eyes that, though we may speak different tongues and follow different flags, we are all inhabitants of a single Planet Earth, and it is to Her that our greatest allegiance must lie.

I’m a nomad…

Traveling has truly changed my life. I love being exposed to different cultures and getting out of my comfort zone. Every time I go on a trip I return home with so much new inspiration! Many of my favorite pieces are the fruit of these journeys, such as my Asia sketchbook. I traveled for seven months without a smartphone, camera, computer, or any other gadget, in an attempt to disconnect from our hyper-technological world and re-connect with myself and my immediate surroundings. In this sketchbook I captured special moments from my trip in India and Nepal using a unique technique called Blind Drawing, in which one draws without looking at the paper while trying not to lift up the pen. The results are spontaneous, aleatoric compositions – sometimes wild, sometimes elegant, but always interesting!

I originally started painting murals while backpacking in South America. I will always remember my first mural – at the time I had barely created pieces bigger than an A3, but my host offered to buy the materials for me to create a mural at his cottage in the Bolivian jungle and so I just went for it! And I’m so glad I did: the experience gave me great confidence in my abilities, and I went on to paint murals in Europe, Asia, and North America.

I started playing music during that same South American trip, about 8 years ago, and now it is a fundamental part of my life. I’m grateful that I can express myself through many different mediums, because each one allows me to tell my story through a new lens.

Even though now I spend most of my time either in Kansas City or on the shore of Lake Superior in Michigan, where I have a small cabin nestled amongst the old growth forest, I’m always getting ready to pack up and go on another adventure!
