About Me
I'm a Colombian-American illustrator and photographer based in Chicago, as well as a direct descendant of the Muisca Tribe of Colombia, where I was born.
I create art and stories in themes:
Flora/Fauna/Funga [Wild],
Symbolism/Spirituality [Spirit],
[Journeys] on Earth.
I'm mostly self-taught, though I have taken some college level art courses. When I was 16 I quit high school & was awarded a special "overachiever" GED which I used to get accepted to college. In 2010 I earned a Bachelor's Degree in International Affairs (international political science) from Temple University in Tokyo, Japan where I lived for nearly a decade.
My view of the world is colored by a large variety of things. I like to learn about spiritual systems & symbolism, art through time, the variety of art media and techniques, physics, engineering, architecture, biology, and the natural world.
At the moment, the following are piquing my interest:
・The science behind walking barefoot on grass and increased health
・The discovery that the body emits colored light from several centers that happen to correspond to Chakras and their colors
・Queer Ecology and queer beings in nature.
My art and research is informed by all of these interests and more. If any of this sounds good to you, check out my journals below.
Thank you for coming along on this journey!
