Born on Hispaniola, one island divided into two nations, I have always been witnessing a sense of separation, a feeling of not belonging to a family, a society, or even a physical body. Eventually, I understood that this feeling is common to the human experience.  

We are all searching for security in a constantly changing world, forever longing for belonging. My art emerges from this universal desire to make things whole again, especially to bridge our daily existence with Divine Reality.

I see myself as an intuitive instrument from where art is born, allowing that which needs to be expressed come forward, without being the owner of my creations.

Nevertheless, these creations pass through the kaleidoscope of my life, emerging from the unexpected death of my mother and influenced by the nature of the relationships that surround me.

From the darkness of loss to the reverence for mother earth as love itself, these are the sources of my inspiration.
