I was born in Colombia in the year 1987, part of my childhood was spent in Seoul (South Korea) and the later part back in South America. I graduated from the Université de Montreal in 2010 with a degree in filmmaking and I have a Master’s in Visual and Fine Arts from La Universidad Nacional de Colombia. I’m currently living in Montréal working on my second Masters, in English Literature. I’ve painted (almost) all my life and I haven’t gone a day without drawing since September 23 2013. I’ll be buried with a book or two next to me. Worry not.
My first contact with Art came through books, more specifically, with the bits of encyclopedia that came

My first contact with Art came through books, more specifically, with the bits of encyclopedia that came with the Sunday supplement of the newspaper. These glossy images were for me a constant source of joy and amazement. They were my first form of external comfort, the first baby steps towards an affective fetishism in books and deliciously printed images or illustrations. My first crush as a toddler was the Infanta Margarita – ‘nuff said.
So by the time it was my turn in life to decide what career to choose, there was no doubt in my mind about what I wanted to do, the only hitch-glitch remaining was: how? How does one go about doing Art? The question still haunts me. But now, with a good ten years of working in arts, I’m happy to say I don’t have an answer. Which is just another way of saying: it’s only the work that matters, the time invested, the feeling involved, and ultimately, the daily discipline…
