"I was born on the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico where I spent the first ten years of my life. I think a vibrant childhood strongly influenced my outlook on the world, particularly in my depiction of colour and texture...both important aspects of my paintings today. I am very interested in the world and the environment around me and although my work is, to an extent, impressionistic, I also aim to capture the figurative and the essence of reality.My paintings are highly charged with energy; rich and vibrant with colour; and sculpted with texture which help bring the work to life. As I work with spontaneity and instinct, I often happen upon unexpected effects taking the paintings on a journey of their own resulting with images fresh and unique. Over the years my work has grown into an eclectic portfolio of different topics. Nature, abstracts, portraits, boats, small, subtle and bright...all qualities and subjects which challenge myself as an artist to go to new extremes and venture to new boundaries keeping my paintings fresh and inspiring."
