About Me

CURRENT MISSION

this used to be a very tricky question, but I found out the only important thing in life is to "be sound" with who you are, so, thats my mission, to be sound with life! :)

ABOUT ME

Hello, well, i guess im one of the many in search of the beauties of this world, im an artist and as such im inclined to say that "im a simple person" the truth is that im not, i have very acute observation skills, i like the details in my life and in my art, and even if the overall chaos might overwhelm the expectator there will always be a reason for everything in one of my compositions....as in my life.

i like outdoor activities....i need outdoor activities, i might get carried away with work sometimes but in the long haul its the landscapes and earth feelings what gets me thru. I'm a true believer in mountain bike, and bikes in general as a solution for worldwide depression (both spiritual and economic ones) i love every aspect of bikes and cant have enough of them, actually, most of my traveling needs are met by the expectation of bike powered transportation.

PHILOSOPHY

Change is the basics of life, the simple manifestation of one's need to change already implies our commitment to improvement

Music, Movies, and Books

Any kind of rock spawned beetween the 50's and today, of course there are some gaps here and there but overall i feel like every decade has its own peak and downfall so....you just gotta listen carefully :)

Fav movies...too many to count, from the german 1930's classics Doctor Caligary, Der Golem and such, to an orange clockwork to Horton meets a who! hahahaha, there´s def a time for everything in this life :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the chance to see and walk around one of the oldest places on earth... the roraima tepuy wich is one of a series of prehistorical mountains that crowns La Gran Sabana National Park here in Venezuela, a place that absolutely takes away every breath you take no matter who you are or what you've seen

Teach, Learn, Share

Well i guess that one of the cool things about traveling is the feelings you get by what you see, and a good way to record that is thru quick sketching, my skills are not that much of a treat but i can offer some insight into the quick sketching process.

I also work as a bike mechanic so if you have a bike and need to get something fixed I could def help, and if not I would be more than happy to give your bike a basic maintenance as a sign of gratitude!
