ENG // ESP
Visual Artist from Lima, Peru.
Growing up under the influence of japanese animation, fantasy and sci-fi illustration, I began drawing since a very young age, and always with a big fixation on the human figure and the portrait as fount of creative inspiration.
I studied graphic design for a brief period of time and then decide to go for the fine arts and specialize in painting, but to be honest the solitary practice and some sharing of creative spaces with artist of all levels were more influential in my work than any classroom I had attended, also the continuous admiration and following of the arts and great artist from the past and the present allow me to inform and improve my personal work, never stop being a fan is key; I take ideas from the classical to the cartooniss as examples to give me a wide range to explore my own style.
My career has been diverse and had let me to work as an art teacher, art workshops organizer, graphic designer and freelance illustrator, concept and cgi artist for web series, videoclips and animated feature films.
Some other things about me you maybe want to know:
- Co-founder, host & director of Drink & Draw Lima
- Shoto-Kan Karate Black Belt
- Tattoo Artist
- Use to be a prog and metal bass player in some bands
- Good cook and cocktail mixer! 😉

Soy un artista visual de Lima, Perú.
Crecí influenciado por la animación japonesa,la ilustración fantasy y sci fi, comencé a dibujar desde muy pequeño y siempre estuve muy interesado por la figura humana y el retrato como grandes fuentes de inspiración para crear.
Curse estudios de diseño gráfico y artes plásticas, pero atribuyo mi solvencia visual a la práctica continua en solitario y a compartir espacios creativos con distintos artistas de todos los niveles más que a ningún aula por la que haya pasado, así como a seguir siendo un fan de las obras y el proceso de los grandes maestros clásicos y contemporáneos. Tomo inspiración de distintas fuentes, desde lo académico hasta lo cartoon.
Mi carrera ha sido diversa permitiendo desenvolverme como docente artistico, organizador de workshops y eventos de arte, diseñador e ilustrador freelance, artista conceptual y cg artist para series web, videoclips y largometrajes animados.
Hoy en día concentro mi tiempo y mi creatividad como artista e ilustrador independiente.
