The artist was born on September 22nd, 1975 in Albuquerque. He began his works in the human figure as a hobby at the age of 13. He worked with traditional techniques for most of his curriculum until his award winning submission during the National Journalism Education Association conference. He won a first place prize for the portrait rendering of Kim Basinger using Adobe Illustrator. Before making the switch to the digital realm, the artist had amassed a massive body of female and male works with the subject ranging from muscle and skeletal illustrations to portraits and full figures. It wasn’t until his transition to a digital sculpting application that he began focused works on the human figure as art. The formed a plan to create an artistic body of work using only the digital sculpture. Each series has a theme and contains 10 works. The artist has always been partial to large print works and his final renderings are never smaller than 30 inches by 30 inches. He currently continues to develop his works and has more than five new series planned for the future.

I am entirely obsessed with the human form. The way it twists, the bulge and stretch of the muscles under the skin, the smooth converging curves, and durability of structure. I strive with each work to put the human form in new environments, to pose questions: What if it were made of metals or fabrics? How do shadows and shapes break into soft curves when wrapped around the form of the body? I love to see the reaction of our anatomy when exposed to different lights, elements, and environments. When I began working in the digital environment I began to realize that I could pose a myriad of limitless situations the possibilities of artistic works became an explosive muse. I work with my own model, which I regularly perfect, with a series of purposes: I believe the human form has lost a place in contemporary art and I hope to re-introduce a prolific amount of pieces to the category. I range from the delicate to the brute strength in my works as I combine them with a theme. My themes can be based on texture, color, social groups, et cetera. I maintain a future catalogue of what will come next and with each piece I present the human form as both bold and powerful. I want people to see the figure in a new light. Rather than shame and embarrassment I want them to see our true strength the bold and unabashed perfection of the body and its incredible potential.
