Visual Artist in Texas
MAOF

I am a visual artist based in Allen, Texas, creating large-scale abstract paintings that translate movement, colour and light into immersive experiences.

Each canvas evolves through layered gestures and energetic palettes, crafted to revitalize homes, workplaces and public spaces.

Everything is Bigger in Texas,
so are my canvases.

Visual Artist in Texas.-

Curves of colors dissolve into slow-moving drips; bold strokes glance across the canvas and surrender to silence. Every line echoes emotions, every hue is an abstraction from daily moments—the searing heat in August, the sudden cool rush of a blue norther, the amber glow after a serene sunset. What emerges is a journal in pigments, a land of gestures and light shaped by a beautiful Texas sky, ready for you to be seen.

Where Cézanne left Provençal light, I bring Texas sun and Venezuelan brightness, letting the untouched linen stay visible so both time and place can breathe inside the painting.

the voice of an Abstract Artist in Texas

As an abstract artist in Texas, my work responds to both the intensity and subtlety of local landscapes—sunburnt prairies, open skies, and sudden weather shifts. These elements appear not as literal scenes, but as textures, gestures and colour tensions across the canvas.

what it means to Be an Abstract Artist in Texas Today

Being an abstract artist in Texas today means working between cultures, climates and histories. My practice blends Latin American colour sensibilities with the vast scale and light conditions of North Texas, creating a personal visual language rooted in place but open to the world.
