Born and raised in Colombia, South my parents and grandparents always fostered my curiosity so that I could daydream and develop an unlimited imagination, often causing me to feel fully inspired by the bountiful, pristine surrounding landscapes and by our natural resources in Colombia. From the time I was child, I always felt fascinated and mesmerized — even dazzled by the abundant colors, textures, shapes, contrasts and sounds When I was in middle school, I started to sketch, draw and paint animals that I liked and I’d copy even off of textbooks or other material no matter what they ended up looking like… I just sponged it all up and created! Drawing, painting, designing and working with my hands and imagination have always been my favorite things to do.

Comic books, Children’s books, Movies and TV shows were my favorite pastimes and addictions as a teenager, so I joined the millions of other kids around the world by creating my own fantasy world….
