- Artist Statement
- I was born in Lima, Peru, and grew up during a time of domestic terrorism and political turmoil. It was during this time in my life that the cognitive foundations of what would become my artistic explorations were set. From my mathematician grandfather, I learned of geometry and logic, and from my Catholic surroundings, I absorbed the potent iconography and sense of spiritual mystery. My family was forced to leave Peru at the height of terrorism, first moving to Montreal and then to South Carolina, each place bringing me culturally and geographically farther away from my home. In approaching my art as a studied collection of thoughts and experiences, I am able to piece together my various realities. By creating, I am embarking on a path of self-exploration that reconnects me to lost moments, lost people, and lost places.
