I was born in Venezuela and I started painting at the age of 8 years old. Because of the hard schedule of the school I went, at the age of 12 I stopped painting. I followed engineering studies and graduated in 2003, next year I was moving to France, running away from the chaos in my country and leaving everything behind. France was a long history, I will just summarize that I arrived with nothing,
not even the knowledge of the French language and finish doing a master and a PhD in chemistry. I had an animal companion always, since I have 4 years old, I don’t think I could be the happy person I am today without the love of animals. In 2007, I moved to the Netherlands where I found my home. When my previous cat passed away I did some healing and animal communication curses. I start painting again and I adopted a new cat Toby…you will see Toby in many paintings. When I paint an animal the eyes is the most important part, through the eyes I feel connected to the animal, I can feel, send and share the love!. Animals are unconditional love. I want that when you have a painting from me you feel an increase of happiness in your life, that you can sit relax looking at it and that a smile will be drawn on your face
Thank you for reading this, it shows that you are also a sensitive person, the kind of person I would love to see whit a happy smile. My paintings are in Acrylic, Oil, Pastel, Pencil...
Any question? …Feel free to ask,
Greetings
