My Story

I was born in the middle of the 80s in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. Since I was a child, I have been passionate about art and pursued my interest by attending painting and drawing classes with my grandmother. At the age of 17, I began my journey in the field of visual arts at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, where I studied until 2006. Subsequently, I moved to Florence, Italy, to pursue my dream of painting and graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in 2011. Following this, I relocated to Bologna and completed a master's degree in illustration for publishing in March 2014. Currently, I reside in Vienna, where I continue to explore my passion for art through freelance work and personal research. I am also actively involved in the promotion of cultural exchange, illustration, printmaking, and holistic togetherness as a co-founder and member of the associations Die Druckstube, IRARU and Femlink. My responsibilities within these associations have included layout, design, planning, and communication for various cultural events, contributing to the enrichment of artistic and communal spheres while fostering creativity and togetherness. I proudly identify as a native Colombian, with a deep love for Italian culture, and have embraced Vienna as my adopted home.
