I’m a Venezuelan-born architect, educator, and artist with a Master’s degree in Visual Communication. Currently based in Minnesota, where I coordinate the PLATAFORMA RAIZ educational program, empowering Latino and immigrant artists.
My creations are reflections of my odyssey, tales of migration and displacement, sharing intimate narratives woven from the collective memory, appropriated or borrowed. They offer a means of grappling with reality, in a strikingly candid yet poetic fashion. My works explore diverse rhetorical devices of imagery, revealing a quest for truth through the devices of accumulation, ellipsis, and derivation, across various artistic mediums.
