Through my work, I hope to inspire others to appreciate and protect the natural world that we all share.
I was born and raised in the city of Maracay, in the state of Aragua, Venezuela. My passion for naturalist painting dates back to my childhood, where I was exposed to the wonders of the natural world by my father, a zooecologist, and his colleagues.
As a child, I would accompany them on their expeditions as an apprentice illustrator, sketching and painting the beautiful creatures I saw around me. I was amazed by the diversity of life, and the more I observed, the more my passion for painting grew. I realized that painting allowed me to capture the essence of nature and share its beauty with others.
Over the years, I have dedicated my life to wildlife art and scientific illustration. My work has been exhibited in national and international galleries, and acquired by various private and institutional collectors. I have also been fortunate to participate as an illustrator in various projects for national and international zoological and scientific institutions.
I am a member of The Wildlife Art Society International (TWASI) based in England, where I was awarded the Best International Artist gold medal in 2006. This recognition was a tremendous honor and a validation of my lifelong dedication to wildlife art and scientific illustration.
As an artist, I am deeply committed to the conservation of the natural world. My paintings are a celebration of life, a tribute to the beauty and fragility of the creatures that inhabit our planet. Through my work, I hope to inspire others to appreciate and protect the natural world that we all share.
