I was born in Bogota, Colombia in 1971 where I also studied graphic designAfter 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 fulfill my life long ambition to be a full time artist. that ambition was realized 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 move to the UK, where I have been living for the past eight 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.
