I AM A CREATOR OF IMAGES, A TELLER OF STORIES.

He recently graduated in Theater Art from the Higher Institute of Arts (ISA), specializing in Scenic Design. His childhood was lived in a small rural town in the south of the Artemisa province called Alquízar. Telling stories for him has always been a hobby, currently his interest is how to narrate.
