I was born in Bogota, Colombia in 1971 where i studied graphic design. After graduating in 1997 I worked for 'Alo' magazine for six months as a junior designer. I then moved to Santiago, Chile where i reaffirmed my love for fine arts and had my first exhibition at the Tibelly Gallery.


The six months I spent in Santiago provided me with many new ideas, and inspired me to return to Bogota to fulfil my life long ambition to be a full time artist. That ambition was realised shortly after my return when i established my own gallery and studio, the Berkana Gallery. As well as showcasing my own work I also exhibited the work of other local artists.


After three years I decided to close my gallery and moved to the UK, where I have been living for the past seven years. Since moving to London I have exhibited my work on a number of occasions, and I have undertaken several commissions. I am constantly researching to produce new and exciting work.
