Hi!
First of all, I'm from Chile, so I'm sorry if my english is not perfect
I’m originally from Valdivia, where I’m currently finishing my journalism career. I draw and paint in my spear time. My friends say I’m a perfectionist when it comes to my artwork, cause’ I’m constantly retouching my painting… but, I guess I like them to be as accurate as I imagined them.

I started drawing right after I finished Lord of the Rings; Tolkien is a big source of ideas… Hence all the elves in my work :p I also love Yeats poems… I’m constantly recurring to the pages of The Tower and the The Collected Poems.

But my inspiration comes mainly from music. I always listen to something relaxing while I paint; Loreena McKennitt, Enya or any good movie soundtrack does the trick. I also love opera, specially Puccini, Mozart, Bellini and Donizetti’s works.

I find inspiration in some artists from the past as well, like Fray Angelico, Botticelli, Raffaello Sanzio, Dali and the Pre-raphaelite Brotherhood. My favorite fantasy artists are Brian Froud, Alan Lee, Boris Vallejo, Daniel Merriam, Luis Royo, Johfra Bosschart, Kinuko and Stephanie Pui-Mun Law whose watercolors have inspired me to go and color my drawings.


Hope u like my work… I’ll be uploading more drawings and paintings soon, so stay tuned.
