About

Born in Bogota, Colombia, South America, I am searching for poetry, Poetry is one of the clues that guides us through the intricate maze. Where are we From?, Who are we?, where are we going?,I want these ancient questions to be in the mind of the viewers.I have concluded that reality is everyday surrealism and If we want to keep our brain alive and sane, ART is the only effective exercise.Each art work is a page of an esplorer's log book.
