Light My Candle, 40 x 40 Mixed Media on Canvas
Marilyn Monroe appears not as an icon frozen in glamour, but as a luminous presence suspended between vulnerability and desire. She holds a candle gently, as if guarding a fragile flame light as hope, memory, and longing. Light My Candle, Darling! is an invitation to see, to feel, and to remember that true light is never loud. It glows, patiently, in the dark.
Art has always been a part of me, and my teacher, Fran, was my mentor. She was tall, strict, and full of passion for Art. She taught me not only about art but also about discipline she’d say, “Don’t get up from your seat until the artwork is finished and I’ve checked it.” Those words stayed with me.

Art has always been a part of me, and my teacher, Fran, was my mentor. She was tall, strict, and full of passion for Art. She taught me not only about art but also about discipline she’d say, “Don’t get up from your seat until the artwork is finished and I’ve checked it.” Those words stayed with me. Thank you, Fran, for helping me discover the artist within and for your love to see me do it right. I also like to thank RAW Artist for selecting me a Miami RAW Visual Artist in 2018.

My inspiration comes from daily things in my life, people around me and the love I have for art. I use to visit museums and galleries with my teacher, Fran, studying the timeless works of artists like Rembrandt, Michelangelo and Picasso. Together, we explored the mind of the artist discovering not just how a painting was made, but why it was created. Those early experiences shape my art today. Now, I find myself painting for many reasons to express emotions, growth, and the unseen energy that connects us all to our creator.

I love working with all mediums. They all have a place in my art when I am creating a new piece. I love painting many things including abstracts, portraits of people that motivate me often applying mixed media techniques to add depth, emotion, and movement to my paintings.

I love working with all mediums. They all have a place in my art when I am creating a new piece. I love painting many things including abstracts, portraits of people that motivate me often applying mixed media techniques to add depth, emotion, and movement to my paintings. I rely on my natural tool's hands and keen sight. No projectors, computers, rulers or protractors because art is not graphics in school. Art is artistic and natural. You either have it or you don't.
