Creative Encounters University of Fine Arts
I, along with one other artist, planned and collaborated with art students and local artists at the University of Fine Arts in Hanoi, Vietnam. Over three days, we conducted different workshops, showcasing innovative Latin American techniques that had been passed on to us. During this cultural exchange, we taught these techniques to the participants, fostering a rich connection through art. This opportunity was extended to us by the Uruguayan and Mexican governments, as Vietnam and Uruguay celebrated 30 years of diplomatic relations, making it a significant and memorable experience. Our role as the lead artists in this workshop was to guide students and local artists in exploring these contemporary techniques.

New York, United StatesCreating art is a deeply personal and enriching journey for me, one that has been influenced by my diverse life experiences. Originally from Los Cabos, Mexico, my journey has taken me from Canada to the USA, exposing me to a multitude of environments and cultures. Graduating with a major in animated illustration and a concentration in publication design from the Savannah College of Art and Design has equipped me with a strong foundation. My recent trip to Southeast Asia, where I curated exhibitions and worked closely with children and art students, served as a monumental source of inspiration. I find inspiration in the every day, from nature to human interaction, and I channel this into my art. As a surrealistic, abstract artist, my creative range spans from murals to digital projects, and I relish exploring new avenues for artistic expression. Now, as a newcomer to NYC, I am eager to seize new opportunities for personal and artistic growth.
