Hello.

Born in between Costa Rica and Argentina, I came to the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2021 — first as a Sequential Art student, before discovering that art history was the discipline that actually held my attention. I'm now a senior, double-majoring in Art History and Sequential Art, with minors in Game Design, Business, and Language and Cultural Studies, with an expected graduation in June 2027.

My research interests sit at the intersection of European avant-garde modernism — Berlin Dada, Russian Modernism, Weimar visual culture — and Latin American kinetic and op art. I'm drawn to moments when visual languages were forced to reorganize themselves under political pressure, and to the artists who refused to let abstraction stay neutral.

In 2024, I studied at SCAD's Lacoste campus, which sharpened a long-standing pull toward France and toward French as a working language. I currently read and write in Spanish, English, and French, and I am working toward graduate study in art history. Alongside academic writing, I'm developing a curatorial practice. My most extensive project to date, The Narrowing Gallery: Edward Gorey: Overgrown, was developed at SCAD in 2025 as a sensory exhibition proposal grounded in The Evil Garden, German Expressionist cinema, and collaboration with Savannah-based artist Autumn Gary. I'm building toward a career in art criticism and museum / curatorial work — ideally in Europe, ideally with a foot still in Latin America.
