About me
After 14 years away, I’m back in LA trying to rediscover my hometown. It’s a complicated love letter to a place I once couldn’t bear to be in.
I left New York City autumn 2014 and returned to the West Coast after 12 years away. But for the first time many years – I was without any readily available studio space. To substitute my need to paint, I focused on photography. What I realized early on was that my photography style certainly mimicked the abstracts I favored. I took it as an opportunity to get reacquainted with my hometown. I made it a mission to find slants, curves and angles within the City of Angels, that typically go completely unnoticed. I sank myself head-first, thru the viewfinder into Abstract Photography.
Summer 2017, I launched my own artist’s website called, The Abstract Latin
Winter 2017 – I relaunched my studio space.
Work / Education
I graduated from BIAD/Birmingham Institute of Art & Design in Birmingham ENGLAND.
Spent 14+ years designing retail and commercial environments.
Have been painting and pursuing Abstract Photography for roughly 12 years.
