An artist who refuses to fit in a box.

I've been creating things for as long as I can remember.

I'm originally from Colombia, and I moved to Los Angeles with the dream of building a life around my creativity and turning art into a real career. Starting over in a new place has been part of that journey, and I'm still working toward making that dream a reality.

When I was little, I loved painting with acrylics. I think what I loved most was simply being able to make something pretty with my own hands. I was always designing or creating things for myself, and art became a natural way for me to express myself.

About two years ago, I started painting with oils. What I love most about oil paint is the way everything can blend together so softly. There's something about working with the colors and watching a painting slowly come together that I really enjoy.

I've always been a little shy and reserved, and I think that's one of the reasons art became such a natural way for me to express myself. I can put things into a painting that I might not always know how to say out loud. Painting is relaxing for me, although I can definitely get stressed when I'm trying to make something better or get it exactly how I imagine it.

I usually paint women, photographs, random ideas, or simply something that comes into my head. I don't always start with a specific meaning behind a painting. Sometimes I just want to paint something, and I let it become whatever it becomes.

As an artist, I don't like putting myself in a box. I like to try new things — I don't really have one style. I just paint what I paint. I want my work to bring a little bit of fashion, creativity, and personality into the spaces where it lives.

I paint because I love it, but I also hope to make a life out of something I genuinely enjoy. My goal is to continue growing as an artist, share my work with more people, and build a career doing something that has been part of me since I was little.

This is my art, and I'm still discovering where it can take me.
