I create art through a wide range of mediums including painting and sculpture, exploring ideas of cultural identity, acceptance, and inclusion.  

I work with stories and themes that are underrecognized by mainstream culture, finding ways to magnify and transform them into emblems of power and agency. In my first feature film Cajita I tell the story of a man I knew growing up in Miami. I want to bring a story of the often-overlooked Afro-Latino community of Miami Florida from the edges to the center so that we are able to see them in their fullness. 

As a visual artist making a narrative film, my aim is to find poetry in the transforming of real life into images. Being truthful and depicting the characters with dignity is what matters. I strived for a pure style of filmmaking casting community members as first-time actors mixed with local actors, attempting to capture the authenticity of a side of Miami seldom seen by outsiders.

Like my artwork in galleries and museums, the film invites the audience to be part of the creative process. I’d like the audience to apply their imagination as they are entertained.
