ABOUT ME
I’m a digital artist who has been drawing pretty much my whole life. I've always liked drawing since I was a little kid, but it became a serious hobby when I was in second grade (Primary), and I wanted to be the best in my class at drawing. How ambitious I was for my age.Since then, I've kept drawing every day and whenever I could, and sometimes even when I shouldn’t… So even if I was always the kind of kid who ended up having their teachers as friends, they always had to scold me for drawing in class.I grew up in Valencia, Venezuela, but most of my family is from Caracas and Altagracia de Orituco, so I have been traveling between those places since I can remember, especially Altagracia, because my father has worked there all his life since my father’s family are ranch owners and he runs the one in Altagracia.Since my family owns a ranch, I've always had a place to connect with nature and animals, as well as access to stunning references that have accompanied me throughout my journey as an artist.It was probably when I was 14 or 15 that I discovered digital art as an option for me after years of drawing using just pencils, and that’s when art became hard for me, because I had to learn everything by myself. Despite that, I never gave up.When I turned 16, the time to choose a career was something I had to face. People in Venezuela don’t usually cheer you up regarding art jobs, and I didn’t think that could be an option for me either. So my first option was to try Medicine.Plot twist: I never had the opportunity to get in. Not because I wasn’t good enough, but because the office in charge of university planning said I could pay for private education. Ironically, in Venezuela, only public universities have Medicine as a career option.I tried odontology, but I didn’t like it, and finally I thought … Why keep ignoring my art skills instead of using them for something cool? And that’s how I ended up going to Digital Creative Institute (ICD or CDD) and studying Visual Communication until I graduated in 2021.I mostly worked for small companies, shops, and individuals with graphic design requirements such as Ferretti, Fibex, One Way Cargo, and Maiso, to name a few; however, I never felt passionate about graphic design as I am for illustration, concept art, and animation. So I knew I had to do something about it.Back in 2020, the Lightbox expo turned into an online event, and attending that event was like opening my eyes for the first time and seeing there were a lot of opportunities to choose from, opportunities more suited for someone like me. Since then, I have been working to become a better artist every day.Currently, I’m a junior cutout animator and illustrator based in Valencia, Venezuela. In my free time, I run my own art shop full of original designs and fan art used on Physical and digital merch, and do art commissions for personal and commercial use. Sometimes I still do Graphic design when it’s needed, but through my art I discovered my design style too.
