Artist Statement

Art and design are more than aesthetics to me, they are forms of expression, storytelling, and innovation. My creative journey is driven by a desire to push boundaries and meet diverse artistic and design needs with visionary craftsmanship.

Working across sculpture, ceramic sculpture, painting, and printmaking, I embrace a surrealistic style defined by organic forms, rich textures, and earthy hues. My approach to portraying the human form is distinctive, blending abstraction with deeply personal symbolism. Each piece reflects my fascination with movement, structure, and the interplay between form and emotion.

Throughout my career, I have exhibited my work in individual, and group shows in Puerto Rico and New York, including at Barret Art Center and Fall for Art. My commitment to innovation and artistic excellence continues to drive my evolution as an artist, inspiring new interpretations of form, texture, and design.
