Born in the Dominican Republic (1984), where he spent his childhood drawing and playing baseball, until eventually moving to Hollywood Florida at age 11.
As an autodidact figurative painter, muralist and sculptor, he has received his art education from the compulsive study of the old masters works and techniques. His works are a personal reflection of his life experiences, as well as from observation of human behaviors and social struggles.
He is currently living and working in South Florida, where he continues to develop his craft.
