Welcome to my Art

Immerse yourself in a visual journey where earth, soul, and fantasy meet in every artwork.”

My work is born from the dialogue between magical realism and the emotional expression of the human being. I paint from the symbolic, the invisible—what sustains us even when unseen. I use mixed media—oil, acrylic, and watercolor—which allow me to explore different layers of the tangible and the dreamlike.

“From the roots of coffee to the sky of ideas, these series sails through Guatemalan expressionism with magical realism and subtle humor.
Floating houses, uncertain bridges, and ethereal values bring to life to posible interpretation.”

Entre el Cielo y el Mar

The mind is freed from physical boundaries. The little house, suspended high above, represents the inner center of the self. Below, wonder swim in a borderless blue—symbols of intelligence, playfulness, and expanded awareness. The scene dissolves the line between sky and sea, inviting us to understand that creative thought knows no fixed dimensions. Faith is the trunk from which the house emerges; it is the invisible force that sustains everything. The work suggests that imagination is as vast as the ocean.

La Casita en el Arbol

In the vastness suspended between sky and earth, a tree of living faith emerges, stretching its branches like invisible promises. Upon them, a small house blooms: the home where the finest human beings are born, where tenderness takes root and character is shaped under the shelter of love.

Vivencias

This series celebrates the daily lives of the Guatemalan people: tireless work, tender parenting, and the hope blooming in every gesture. Among vibrant textiles and deep gazes, color becomes a language. The expressive merges with the abstract, like a breath between the real and the dreamed. I paint not only what is seen, but what is felt—a living, dignified, and eternally resilient Guatemala.
