ARTIST BIO
I am a multidisciplinary artist specializing in mixed media, fine art mosaics, and most recently mural painting. Born in Cuba, raised in Miami, and currently residing in Florida, my passion for art and creative expression has been a constant throughout my life. Over the years, I have explored a variety of mediums, allowing me to express myself authentically and freely. I find joy in blending color, emotion, energy, and imagination to create work that is both emotionally expressive and thought-provoking.
My preferred mediums are acrylic paint and glass for mosaic work. I am naturally drawn to bold, vibrant color palettes and the rich textures that different materials bring to my pieces. While I often work with these materials, I do not limit myself to a single medium. My work frequently incorporates glass, mirrors, gold leaf, paper, metal, dried flowers, wood, and other recycled or repurposed objects. I find great fulfillment in giving materials a new life through art, allowing each piece to carry its own story and transformation.
As a dreamer at heart, I find beauty in the most ordinary moments. My inspiration is rooted in nature, spirituality, and personal life experiences, which guide me in creating art that is vibrantly expressive and resonates energetically with the viewer. My creative process is intuitive and spontaneous; when I paint or build a piece, I allow feeling and instinct to lead the way.
Most recently, I expanded my artistic practice into public art as a muralist. In late 2025, I completed the BFA Broward Mural Mentorship Program and created a public arts mural in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea as part of the program. This experience deepened my connection to community through large-scale art and allowed my expressive style to evolve into the public space.
For me, the beauty of art also lies in the process itself. I am continually inspired to create work that invites viewers to reflect on the ephemeral nature of experience and the enduring resilience of the human spirit. My goal is to produce pieces that are not only visually compelling but also convey meaning, evoke emotion, and create a sense of connection and resonance.
Recently, my artwork No Judgement was selected for the 2025 Embracing Our Differences outdoor exhibits​ international juried exhibition, as part of Florida’s Cultural Coast. The exhibition featured 50 billboard-sized works of art displayed in two outdoor installations at Bayfront Park in Sarasota and Poynter Park in St. Petersburg.
My mixed media artwork Pieces was also exhibited in the Mirrored Realities Exhibition at the Cotilla Gallery at the Alvin Sherman Library on the NSU Davie Campus.
As I continue to grow and evolve as an artist, I remain inspired to create work with a sense of fluidity and resonance, creating space for deeper connection and reflection.​
