I am a figurative artist working primarily with charcoal, pencil, and oil, often incorporating gold leaf into my artwork. My work explores the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength, using introspection to invite viewers into a deeper emotional experience. Through this process, I create quiet moments of self-reflection and personal connection.
My creativity is driven by a deep need to embrace my true self and share what it means to navigate the world as a sensitive human being. Through my work, I honor this sensitivity, offering viewers an authentic glimpse into the strength and beauty found in vulnerability.
Blending classical technique with contemporary sensitivity, I celebrate the nuanced beauty of the female form. Charcoal, with its elegance and fluidity, allows me to elevate the grace inherent in the female figure, while gold leaf—perhaps influenced by my Peruvian heritage—adds a luminous, ethereal quality. Pencil drawings, requiring patience and precision, reflect the care and dedication needed to nurture a woman’s inner light. My oil paintings, rich in emotion, hold space for deeply personal narratives that I have yet to fully express.
My process is slow and deeply introspective. Each piece becomes a personal journey, unfolding at its own pace as I listen to what it has to reveal. I often work from reference images that resonate with my experiences or, when possible, capture my own photographs to maintain a direct connection to the subject. My compositions remain intentionally minimal, focusing on form and emotion rather than elaborate settings. I favor a limited palette, embracing simplicity as a way to channel profound emotion.
Inspired by the Old Masters and modern minimalism, I merge technical precision with emotional depth, portraying women not just as symbols of beauty but as powerful, resilient figures. By sharing my own vulnerability through art, I hope to create a space for empathy, where viewers feel seen, understood, and encouraged to embrace their own emotions. In this space, sensitivity is not just acknowledged; it is celebrated as a source of connection and strength.
