Growing up in New York City, my form of self-expression was through painting. I used art to articulate emotions I struggled to convey in words. Being the eldest son of immigrant parents, I experienced firsthand the journey of adapting to a new and sometimes challenging environment.  Contrasting my upbringing in San Cristobal, Dominican Republic, New York City fascinated me with its vibrant graffiti scene and the way it celebrated individuality in every corner. Here, art wasn't just about aesthetics; it was about telling stories from diverse perspectives, free from constraints. Through my art, I aim to share the authenticity of my journey and experiences, connecting with others on a level beyond words.
