ABOUT ME

BIO

I was born in Santo Domingo. I come from an artistic family where my sister is a graphic designer, my brother is a chef, my mother is an artist and decorator and my father is an architect. I had my first drawings beginning at age 9. I decided to assist Chavon since I was in 7th grade because I knew about it since then.I entered Chavon the same year, where I graduated from Fine Arts and Illustration, Digital Design and then finally winning the career scholarship to attend Parsons The New School of Design.

FAQ

WHAT HAVE BEEN YOUR MAJOR INFLUENCES FOR THE REALIZATION OF YOUR PIECES IN TERMS OF DESIGNERS, GRAPHIC LINES, ARTISTIC MOVEMENTS?

I like to feed myself visually with all kind of things, from small and irrelevant wood pieces to the most advanced technology. With this in telling you that you can actually find inspiration or influence in every single thing. Nevertheless, artists like William Turner with his Abstract Realism, going through Mondrian with the De Stijl and getting to artists as Ashley Wood as modern impressionist; designers like Olly Moss, Pixar Animation team, Saul, even Kubrick or the team of PES, are big inspirations in the realization of my pieces.

HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR WORK?

I would define it as work that will always exceed expectations, as pieces of communicative design that will always contain emotion and visual strength while often maintaining a simple, modern, and at times minimalist style. Still, I will always see the client as an opportunity to try new things and as a way to resolve new questions on communication. This would help me mold to the clients preferences while still giving it my own unique and personal touch.

ALTOS DE CHAVON SCHOOL OF DESIGN HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED WORLDWIDE, AND IS ONE OF THE INSTITUTIONS THAT THE COUNTRY (D.R.) IS MOST PROUD OF IN TERMS OF ARTISTIC INSTITUTIONS. WHICH ARE, IN YOUR OPINION, THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT MAKE CHAVON A SCHOOL OF THIS LEVEL?

I'd say there are 3 things:
1. The locale. The coexistence with your peers makes it so you can receive critiques and mantain constant improvement.
2. The professors are a selection of the best that Latin America has to offer; they are excellent guides with unique experiences and they are people who make you love your work and show you that there's always space for improvement.
3. The methodology, it is extremely exceptional, the only one of it's kind; the way they teach and give classes, the personal level it reaches. There's so much you can learn just by simple assistance.

IN A SCALE FROM 1 TO 10, HOW MUCH DO YOU LIKE THE WORK YOU DO SUCH AS WEB OR INFOGRAPHICS?

OVER 9000! I love it so much.
