About Me

My beginnings in art were when I was still a child, at the age of 7 years old I used to draw my friends; I used to make drawings for my pals, I would draw their favorite superheroes and they were always delighted; I can remember children from other classrooms would come with their notebooks for me to draw and there would be long lines, everyone wanted a superhero from me. This made me feel good, I am Cuban and drawing was the only way a child from that region could have his idols in posters back then. I grew up and, while my friends were playing sports, I became more committed to drawing.

My first achievement was entering to art school, in the plastic arts specialty program. I got closer to several art manifestations and music became my second passion. I was able to develop my skills as a plastic artist, which led me to obtain several awards and recognitions. When I finished school I joined a funk hip hop fusion band called “Calle libre”, however I always continued working with several artists in the visual arts; from whom I learned a lot, like Jorge Dumenigo.

After a very hard journey, I managed to get to the United States, where art was also my weapon and shield, in order to survive. I started painting murals in New York City where I had the opportunity to meet a great friend and mentor in the art of tattooing: Jhonny Ford. I discovered at that moment that my great passion was to capture on people’s skin what was important for them. It was that art that doesn’t die in a gallery, but you can find it anywhere. I quitted all my other projects and I immersed myself in that beautiful world of tattooing; today I have reached great achievements by pursuing what I discovered was my dreamed job. I already have 20 years of artistic experience and I know that I belong here.
