SpanishI wasn't planning to become a full-time artist. Painting was just something I enjoyed, but my wife encouraged me to start selling my paintings and that was the spark that led me to where I am today.
Since then, I have sold over 800 original artwork to over 50 countries around the world and counting...
When I first started, I had an office job working for The New York Times in London as a Senior Advertising Associate, but as my presence in the art world started to expand, I decided to take the leap and resign from my position with the NYTimes and pursue my career as an artist creating original abstract paintings by expressing myself the best way I can. I have never looked back.
I am extremely grateful that I have been able to live my passion and I can paint every single day in my studio and work on exciting new projects with my clients.
