About
Meet the Artist
Originally from Mexico City, I grew up near the ocean in Ventura County, California, attending schools in Ventura and Oxnard. After moving to the U.S. as a child, I found my passion for drawing and painting early on, focusing on bygone eras. My art is deeply inspired by the past, reflecting themes of history and nostalgia, and each piece is meticulously researched, with titles that capture their historical context. I studied commercial art and photography in college, where I spent five years learning from incredible mentors while being largely self-taught in oil painting. In addition, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, a Master’s in Marketing, and a second Master’s in Business, and I began my PhD program in Business. After an 18-year career in the computer game industry as an artist, art director and producer, I made the leap to painting full-time in 2005. I also opened Art First! Center for the Arts and its associated gallery, Allegory Fine Arts, in Ventura, California, where I taught drawing and painting to children and adults. As a Latin artist, I strive to challenge stereotypes and redefine what that means. My work is representational and illustrative, connecting viewers with moments that resonate on a personal level. I aim to capture fleeting moments in time, inviting you to see your own stories reflected in my art.
