I am 34 years old Venezuelan artist and painter, who lives in Belo Horizonte, Brasil since november 2011.
I lived in France between 2004-2011, where I show my work in solo or in collectif exhibitions. I won in 2011 the Special Prize of 56° Salon d'Art Contemporaine de Montrouge in 2011, and i had the opportunity to show my work in the Palais de Tokyo, Paris.

During my college years and all over my subsequent career my thoughts and works were based on the memory and the everyday aspect of intimate spaces. As a consequence, actual living places or houses were the central line of my work. In that sense, “Living” is much more complex than to take possession of a personal space or a specific place. “To live” is to go through the objects, through the way of occupying spaces, the day-to-day actions. It is also a way to portrait the personal indelibly signs from someone’s intimacy. Just like negative picture.
The whole set of my work supports the idea in which home is the skin of the habitant and vice versa. It suggests that the house is constructed by a special concrete, consisted by all the residual presence and memories. This imperceptible special material can build a house into a continuous identity of construction, a memorial space called home.
