After completing my studies at the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, I embarked on a professional journey that spanned several years in the realms of graphic design and illustration. This period was not only essential for earning a livelihood, but it also afforded me the precious time to hone and develop my unique style as a painter.
The year 1999 marked a pivotal moment in my artistic career when I rented my first official art studio. This space became my sanctuary, a dedicated environment where I could fully immerse myself in my creative process. During this time, my focus was on capturing the urban landscape of San Francisco, a city that served as a constant source of inspiration and energy.
By late 2000, I had compiled a significant body of work that I was ready to share with galleries. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and in 2001, I was thrilled to begin working with North Beach Gallery in San Francisco, who began representing my urban landscape series. This partnership was a crucial milestone in my artistic journey and a validation of the direction I had chosen for my work.
Now, twenty-five years later, my artistic practice has evolved considerably. I continue to explore and paint a wide variety of subjects, not only on traditional 2D surfaces but also expanding my work to include 3D objects. This evolution has become the driving force behind my creativity, a continuous exploration that propels me to keep creating, experimenting, and pushing the boundaries of my art. The journey is ongoing, and the endless possibilities for artistic expression continue to inspire and motivate me every day.
