I was born in Venezuela in 1977. In 2000 I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Architecture from La Universidad de los Andes, in Merida. I pursued graduate studies in Arizona State University, obtaining a Master of Science in Design on 2003. Then, I moved with my husband to Florida, where we worked for a few years. I started painting in 2006. I now juggle my time between my studio (Evolve) in Berkeley, CA and my work as a creative director for a nonprofit.
My artwork has evolved over time, with a few recurring elements that are always present. My paintings explore the relationship between life and movement.
With Textures, my early work is a consciously naive experimentation with techniques, primarily concerned with color and texture, the harmony I find in new uses of materials and the sensations that they express.
Feeling the need to evolve, my work started incorporating abstract representations of Nature. This time I experimented with typography and text. Along came Reclaimed, an ode to the organic flow and constant transformation of life, with the re-use of discarded objects as the central subject.
Lately I am consciously restricting the use some of the materials and techniques I used in the past. BotanInk is a clean start: dots of ink, limited use of color and texture, illustrating the fragile balance between life and nature. In parallel, I have started working on the concept for a new series: “I dream, I dare, I am…”, portraits of women.

Alive and changing, my work is evolving. Life is a gradual process of change, as so paintings, frozen in time, could capture that organic process. That is what I want my art to be.
