(Sept. 1982) - Panama's First Professional Rock Climber, Computer Engineer, Painter and Digital Artist from Boquete, Province of Chiriquí in Panamá.<br />
<br />
On 2004 I had an amazing opportunity to travel around the world ascending some of the most amazing mountains imaginable.<br />

My role as proffessional rock climber pushed the limits of my mind and body yet also allowed me to perceive a unique and privileged view of God's creation which continue to serve as a fundamental inspiration on my artwork.<br />

During expeditions I remember enjoying the sourrandings and often drawing on my notebooks quick sketchs that someday (I hoped) I could refine and paint. Many times I also painted to escape from the rigours of the sport reflecting my own fears and weaknesses.<br />

On 2017 I retired as pro athlete and began a new stage on my life where new challenges awaited yet climbing and painting remained as permanent companions for me.<br />
<br />
The paints I do are mostly a recopilation of memories that attempt to capture emotions in a mix of real and imaginative interpretations.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy my artwork.<br />
