I started making art around 1996 painting in abandoned factories and railway walls in a small city in Santander where I was born. These were places that no one cared about but for me were treasures.
My style is a mix between realistic compositions, organic items, digital patterns and a mix of cultures from the past and from the future. My inspirations come from surrealism and art history, namely the renaissance period. I like to bring muses and icons from that era that I translate into my own language. I also like to include cultures from Africa, India, Mexico and Asia in my artwork. My inspirations are things that I see around me every day.

Board member Linda Boudreau opposed the project, but it was mostly due to what she called site constraints that could not be overcome, from limited parking to lack of easy access for emergency response vehicles.
