About
Born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Currently living in New York. As a self-taught illustrator, I have been creating my own path through the visual arts. Everything I know about illustration is because of my passion for it. Since I have not been able to study arts, I've been training myself through years, by practicing and studying some of my favorite role models in visual arts. I have been able to work illustrating books, collaborate with fashion designers and several art commissions. My goal is to study arts, become an animator and filmmaker, and also keep growing professionally as an illustrator.
