my story

Photos taken by COLLEAGUE Sasha Kravets

As a young Hispanic queer artist, my journey through the art world has been one of exploration, self-discovery, and community building. From a young age, I discovered that art was not only a means of communication but also a way to connect with those around me. Over the years, I accumulated skills in various media, ranging from painting to digital art to large-scale murals. Attending art school has further developed my passion for art. Being a part of a tight-knit community of fellow artists, friends, and family members has been vital to my development. We share ideas, critique each other’s work, and collaborate on projects that reflect our diverse experiences and perspectives. Working within this community has shown me the power of collaboration, pushing me to stretch beyond my comfort zone and experiment with new forms of expression. As I move forward in my artistic career, I remain committed to my community and my craft. I aspire to create commission-based work.
