My Fine Arts training in Cuba is part of the foundation of my work: drawing, proportion, light and volume applied to tattooing.

Valencia and visits to Texas
I work as an artist at Obsidian Tattoo in Valencia, by appointment. You can enquire about your project directly through this website. I return to Odessa roughly every six months for 20–30 days; my next visit is planned for January 2027, with exact dates still to be confirmed. Austin is also part of my work in Texas.
