Born and raised in Magallanes, south of Chile. I didn’t have an artist´s influence but had a strong motorcycling influence: my Grandfather. He was a know biker in the town and introduced me to the motorcycles, like all his sons and grandsons. Today there are lots of bikes in the family.

As a kid I lived on my bicycle, clipping a trading card, or cards, onto the frame to clap against the spokes of my bike was my deep-throated muffler. In the meantime I enjoyed drawing, but the artists in this country don’t have many possibilities to live well enough. With reason over heart, I looked for a well paid career and studied engineering.

I lived in Spain in the 80’s, relocating to Santiago de Chile in the late 90’s. After a lot of Hondas, I bought my first Harley and I fell in love with the chrome reflex. I began to see things from a different perspective and I started pursuing a way to reveal this feeling at that time. I took again the pencil in order to try to capture this feeling in the chrome covers of my Harley. I’ve used a variety of mediums such water colors, oil and finally acrylic on canvas and air brush.

The works that I show in this site are my last works. I expect that my search for a good chrome reflex will be a fine experience for the viewers, but I also expect that this searching never ends, because the life is a journey and I'm enjoying the ride.
