The Baltimore we want to see
ART@WORK: Summer Art Program, 6 weeks, leading artist. Been hired by Baltimore Office of Promotion of the Arts, (B.O.P.A.) to lead a group of 12 youths and two assistants of the Upton community in order to design, present and install all the rolling doors on both sides of the street, about 12 murals in total. This pictures refer to the larger part of this project connecting 8 front stores. The intention here was to expose positive and powerful messages based on a holistic view of the spot where we installed the mural. Due to its size, this large format allowed us to think big with the design concept and fully utilize the space. It contains a lot of messages and actions, but it ultimately depicts the community rising again using a powerful message above all: The Baltimore we are looking forward to see in the future.
I was born and raised into an art gallery.
My practice focuses on enhancing the outdoor space of different communities while doing it in the most holistic manner. I consider to have a special way to see things through and then translate it into a wide variety of mediums from digital to physical and vice versa. Working with different communities and give them back is what I love to do, is what brings a smile to my face. Always open, exploring into new ways of expression in order to constantly evolve, spreading the word stroke after stroke, developing a stronger network who supports my public art projects, interacting with different communities and organizations. Bringing customized artworks in the most holistic way.
Through the years I have developed my own style which I refer as "dotting", that is similar to impressionism and pointillism by using brushes and rolls, but as a result of a digital approach; working across several surfaces and using the three-dimensionality from each project on favor of the artwork. This approach and style has allowed me to create a wide variety of projects, involving live performances, solo exhibitions, and large scale murals across the east coast of USA as well as parts of Europe and South America, always by working closely with the communities that supports it.
In 2021, I had the privilege of being selected the winner of a Miami Beach public contest in order to create the first large scale mural in the heart of South Beach, a tribute mural portraying 5 celebrities across a two story building (4,000 sq/ft). Giving me the experience of handling heavy equipment over a densely populated pedestrian walk in Washington Ave for 9 weeks, performing over a 560 hours of pure brush and rolls.
