I'm the artist behind the bold, sensual style I like to call Tropical Nouveau. Born in Peru, raised in Miami, and based in Hawaii, my work fuses vintage glam, art nouveau curves, and island soul. From custom portraits to film posters, every piece tells a vivid, sultry story—where modern style meets timeless beauty.
My art story began in Lima, Peru, took root in the colorful neighborhoods of Miami, and blossomed in the lush paradise of Honolulu, Hawai‘i.
My visual style is a vibrant mashup of influences: the mystique of 70s glam, the flowing elegance of Art Nouveau, the nostalgic allure of Latin calendar girls, and the breezy romance of Hawaiiana. At the heart of it all is my belief in beauty that transcends borders—beauty that’s classic, heroic, and brimming with spirit.
Through my art, I celebrate exotic femininity, radiant storytelling, and unapologetic maximalism. Whether it’s a custom portrait filled with personal touches, a dreamy art print, a collectible cosmetics palette, or a film poster for the big screen, every piece I create is meant to enchant, empower, and transport.

Q&A
1. What is Tropical Nouveau?
Tropical Nouveau is a visual style that blends the romantic, flowing elegance of traditional Art Nouveau with the bold colors, lush botanicals, and vibrant soul of the tropics (and lots of 70s vibes!)
2. Why do you focus on illustrating women?
Because I’m inspired by bold, confident, and unapologetically feminine energy. My work is a tribute to the power of women—rooted in vintage pin-ups, Latin calendar girls, and 70s glamour.
3. Are you open to illustrating subjects outside of tropical women?
Absolutely! While I’m known for celebrating bold, tropical femininity, I love lending my style to a wide range of subjects. I’ve illustrated everything from film posters (including action, drama, even horror) to album covers and product packaging. It’s always exciting to bring that same rich storytelling and lush visual flair into new genres and industries. If it calls for soul, style, and bold character—I’m in.
4. What’s your prefered illustration method?
Most of my work is created digitally, allowing for rich layers, refined details, and easy customization. For fashion illustrations and live sketching events, I love going back to my roots—working with traditional markers and ink to bring each figure to life by hand.
