Artist Statement

​​

I am a Peruvian artist who resides in Yorkshire, UK. As a kid I was always fascinated with realism in painting, with Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo being my favourite artists (they still are).

​

I have always been amazed about human psychology and how we think, so drawing people in a way, help me to explore the question of what makes us who we are? Drawing people is a challenge I love as it is a constant battle between getting the model accurately and capturing some of his/her personality.

​

My drawings are, in their essence, a constant struggle to capture that moment in time spent with my subject. A single moment caught in time which will stay forever as a part of me and the subject’s lifetime, and, hopefully, a moment that will last past our lifetimes in the form of my drawings.

​

My hope is to create artworks that connect with people, not only decoratively but also psychologically. Claude Monet once said: ‘We all look at the same things, yet see different things’
