BIOGRAPHY
• Dominican Artist residing in Rhode Island, originally from Sabana de la Mar, "La Novia de la Bahía" Dominican Republic. Since early childhood, he demonstrated artistic talents in Model Construction, Sculpture, and an ample imagination. He began to cultivate his innate gift since the tender age of 7, when he would draw on all of his notebooks, make houses out of cardboard, and create animal sculptures out of mud in his grandmother’s yard. At age 13, he possessed a tenacious ability in exterior publicity (murals, signs, etc.) as well as t-shirt art, Panoramas and Store Fronts typical of his country. He developed all of his abilities by observing his environment without the benefit of an art professor, or even an art book.
• In 1991 he immigrated to his countries’ capital to master his artistic talent and attended the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo –UASD- First University of the World- where he obtains his Bachelor’s degree in Publicity, with a major in Graphic Design / Illustration and received the high honor “Cum Laude”. While there, he received instruction from famous artists such as: Gabino Constanza Rosario, Francisco Mata Lima, Amable Sterling, Eric Genao, Felix Manuel Traboux, Ciprián Mordán, Luis Antonio Rodríguez (RIP), Luis José, Antonio Rodríguez (RIP) and many others.
• From his first year in college (1992) through the end of 1999, he was employed in Printing and Publicity firms as a Graphic Designer and Illustrator. In 2003, he decides to immigrate to the United States of America in hopes of a greater professional and personal future.
• He moved to Providence, Rhode Island, USA., where he assisted in the creation of Vision Moderna Magazine, and continued to work in the reconstruction of antique pictures. Since 2005, he has dedicated most of his time to his art work obtaining awards, published in books, magazine, etc., numerous recognitions, and invitations to art galleries as an exhibitor as well as an artistic speaker.

STATEMENT
• In a vanguard tendency affirming the independent objectivity of the artistic language and its capacity to evolve into a new realistic perspective, from one’s inner evocation where the semiotics of: simple and symbolic color, light, graphics, visual elements, movement, segmentation and mainly the indirect analogy sometimes searched carefully and expressed to others with absolute clarity. I go further ahead than the daily and traditional and towards the stranger, being on occasion an introspective synthesis of my own perceptions; converting them into essential components resulting in a work of inspirational modern art, expressing the idea but with all the artistic autonomy and universal consistency.
...Art has an Independent Dimension Universal Originated in the Cognitive Imagination of Each Artist...
...The Spatial Universe of the Art Work can be interpreted as a Graphic Theory, which underscore the importance of Perception...
