I am a Venezuelan-American practicing artist, trained architect, longtime educator, and cultural activist based in Miami. My artistic practice is deeply rooted in a dialogue with space. Whether through immersive site-specific installations, video works, or public art, I am inspired first and foremost by the physical and emotional resonance of place. My work explores the geometry of our environments and their intersections with history, memory, and time—touching on themes such as home, exile, change, and hope. Ultimately, my work seeks to create poetic yet critical spaces that explore the human condition through our relationship with geography, architecture, and the passage of time.
In 2014, I founded HARTVEST PROJECT, an art venture to promote art appreciation and collecting. I am actually an Adjunct Professor at FIU- Florida International University’s Art & Architecture Departments and a former Titular Professor and Chair of the Architecture and Art Department at Simon Bolívar University, Caracas, Venezuela.
I hold a Ph.D. in Architecture (2016), an MA. in Art History (2003) from Venezuela’s Central University, and a BSc in Architecture from the University of the Arts, Philadelphia, USA (1987).
