Profile
Photographic Artist with Strong Commercial Acumen
Artist Biography
Born in Spain and raised in Venezuela, I re-trained as a photographer in Europe and now live in London. I hold a BTEC in Art & Design (WAES) and an MA in Photographic Studies (Westminster University), gaining hands-on experience at LA Noble Gallery, Camden Arts Centre, and assisting Magnum photographer Chris Steele-Perkins on The New Londoners project. With both professional qualifications and practical expertise, I am fully prepared to thrive as a professional freelance photographer.
My work has been exhibited in London and internationally, featured in PhotoVogue, LensCulture, ArtisTank, and I Love Talent. I was shortlisted for the Renaissance Photography Prize (Disorder category), and my artworks are held in private collections in New York, Spain, and Venezuela.
The combination of my photographic skills and business background in my early career as a business Consultant led me to co-found ART from HEART CIC in 2019—an award-winning arts organisation using Artivism to advocate for women’s rights and environmental issues via large multimedia exhibitions and engaging public programs.
Artist Statement
My photography practice blends Fine Art and Creative Documentary photography and is anchored in extensive research. Driven by a passion for storytelling and inspired by strong family role models, I draw inspiration from women’s narratives, the places they inhabit, their belongings, their journeys, their cultures, and the richness of their humanity.
