A SPACE FOR AWE AND JOY

Consecration of Stardust, 2026, Soft Pastel, Acrylic, Mixed Media on Hand-Textured Wood, 122×91 cm | 48×36 in

The world fills me with awe, joy, and feelings of mysticism, which I transmit to my work. As a result, I tell  stories that blend autobiography and dreams. I share with others all these many layers of ideas, moments, life stories and cultural heritage.

Packed with Caribbean colors and a storm of abstraction, these art pieces show off luminance and textural power. I bring bold lines and striking mark-making, to a medium traditionally dominated by softness.

USING THE PUREST PIGMENTS IN THE WORLD

 All of my work utilizes archival materials - high grade acrylic, pastel, canvas, paper or wood. Pastel is the most pigmented medium of all, even compared to oil and acrylic paint. The intensity of their colors lasts centuries under proper framing or sealing, offering the most spectacular textural experience and covering all conservation needs.

My history of engaging with communities and audiences

With a background in arts management in the Dominican Republic, I’ve led workshops, artist talks, and public programming across radio, schools, and community spaces. In the U.S., I continue this work through college talks and arts council service—making my practice deeply connected to public engagement and education.​
