The artist resides in the city of San Fernado. "True Art comes from being one on one with your creator. Schools teach you technique but your individuality comes from casting your love to all Art and letting your soul guide you into your own unique compositions.

Study the history of the Mexican-American in Chicano Studies is the seed of my art. I try to express both sides of the picture, the darkness and the light. Art that grasp our vision and our emotions in their unique presence.
