Biography

I am an Artist passionate about the forces of nature...

Since I was little I was born with the same artistic ability as my aunt, one of the best painters in Venezuela  "M.P.Clavo" who paint and exhibited more than 3000 pieces of art in the 60's, in fact her paintings are the ones that influence me the most, and although we have a certain taste for cloudy landscapes, my color choices tend to be darker and my strokes more violent.

I always wanted to paint with my aunt, but the crisis in Venezuela didn't even allow us to buy paints and canvas... Although now I can paint digitally, my aunt has gone practically blind and can't paint again, so I paint by myself. her.

Regarding my creative process, none of the paintings have a real reference, I move the colors until I start to see a landscape and play with the weather using certain techniques. Then I imagine myself there, feeling the wind and the rain, and that gives me peace. I hope this can also bring you that same feeling...
