It all started June 17, 1971 on a mountain in Costa Rica, a son of two great Cubans, an artist was born. Brought to Miami, FL. At the age of one and grew up in the poor side of Hialeah. I learned to get away from the urban challenges by diving into worlds I created with anything I could draw with.
Varying from cartoons and graffiti to realism and still pictures, I consumed school time with my true passion, art. In high school I started to develop this passion into a business by airbrushing T-Shirts for classmates. Soon I found myself painting graphics and art murals on their cars and bikes.
After doing a few festivals and getting hooked on custom painting reality hit. After my first child, Chris, was born I was forced to make a decision, gamble our family’s financial security or do the "right" thing and get a career. I took the career path and became a computer programmer working for multiple fortune 100 companies. After ten years of corporate bureaucracy I felt life was passing me by and I was missing on my life’s purpose. My girlfriend and best friend, Michelle , saw how emotionally torn I was and helped,motivated and encouraged me to go after my dream. After all these struggles, here I am back in the vibrancy of art and bringing tantalizing teases to viewer’s minds.
