White Grunts in the Golden Hour
One of my latest paintings which is still part of the endangered ecosystems series. I’m striving for a more graphic, brilliant color and simplistic composition.
Totally Excited about this years Art Basel Exhibition!
Plenty of new work by emerging and established artists.

In this piece I have included Major Mitchell Cockatoos from Australia, Rainbow Eucalyptus Trees and Tulips. This is one of the paintings that is part of a series that I’m working on dealing with vanishing ecosystems and the animals that live in it. I’m using less common animals, which tend be less “loved” to highlight that all of God’s creation serves a purpose. The series up to the moment includes this piece “Majors in the Rain”, “Don’t Get Triggered By The Goggle Eyes”, “Red on Yellow Kill a Fellow”, “Bleached”, “Una Morena y Sus Amigas”, “Flounder and Friends”, “Bycatch”, “Gulf Stream Life”, “Sunset at the Pond”, “Hierba de Alacran” and “Una Cascabel y Sus Peyotes”.

The above image is called “Tidal Pool” 18×24 Acrylic on Canvas. It is inspired by my time in the seashores of the Florida Keys, Key Biscayne, Mattheson Hammock, and Homestead Bayfront Park. Is a continuation of my recent work with dwindling ecosystems and the effects they have on the inhabitants of these environments.
I’m simplifying the forms a bit since I believe my audience has a common knowledge of what many of these marine animals look like. At the same time is not truly important to me doing a ultrarealistic interpretation, that is not my goal I’m more interested in portraying these environments in the most beautiful way possible. This is similar in both design and thought process “Don’t Get Triggered By The Goggle Eyes” Hope you enjoy.
The following galleries are representing my work at the present:
Last Sunday I had the pleasure of capturing images of this beautiful mother and her daughter in the beautiful city of Coral Gables Florida.
I hope you enjoy the small preview of this wonderful afternoon in the area of Coral Gables.





Tuve el gran placer de tomarle las fotos de su Boda a una preciosa novia el mes pasado en el area de Miami conocida como el Doral. Ambos el novio y la novia vinieron desde Raleigh North Carolina para compartir este bello evento en sus vidas con sus familiares y amigos.
La bella novia se preparo en el salon de belleza Rose ubicado en el area de Biscayne y la 7o calle. El estilista Jhon Amaya hizo una obra de arte en el maquillaje de la novia. Pero claro cuando la muchacha es bella en si misma no es necesario tanto trabajo. La ceremonia fue hecha en la iglesia catolica Our Lady of Guadalupe y por ultimo la recepcion en el Killian Palms Country Club.
Espero que disfruten las imagenes y si tuvieran alguna pregunta por favor dejar un comentario o tambien pueden comunicarse por telefono: 305-498-2646



























Pronto les mostrare mas de las bellas imágenes tomadas de una preciosa familia del area de los Redland cerca de Homestead. El lugar usado para estas bellas imágenes fue el Rancho Victoria cuál dueño es el Señor Pedro Sifuentes uno de los principales Agricultores de la zona de Homestead. El gran caballo usado lleva por nombre “Lucho” y es un impresionante ejemplar de ecuestre domado.



This past Saturday I had the pleasure and honor to document using my camera a very beautiful and moving occasion. It was the wedding of Tarik and Mercy a very loving and giving couple. They held their beautiful event at the Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ and the Biltmore Hotel both historic landmarks in the city of Coral Gables in the South Florida area. This blog post is to present the beautiful wedding photography at the Biltmore Hotel of this event.
We started the day off with getting ready pictures at the Biltmore followed by a very emotional first look in which the groom’s father, brother and uncles took part. With the sound of applause and cheers the bride made her way down a set of grandiose staircases to the waiting arms of her future husband. The look on his face as his family members cheered the beautiful Mercy on was something of beauty, which only became more enchanting when he turned towards her and saw his bride at her very best for the very first time. Tears were on both the grooms and brides eyes but with hours of preparation in the brides part she had to compose her self or else we would had a bit of a disaster in the makeup department.
The first look led to formal outside portraits of the couple taking advantage of the beautiful afternoon light that we had around us. This led to more portraits inside the beautiful Biltmore Hotel lobby with the bride’s and groom’s immediate family. Shortly afterwards we headed towards the Church which happens to be across the street from the hotel. The bride was driven, on her short ride in an incredible Rolls Royce Wraith by her father. A very classy and beautiful touch, if I might say. Between the awesome auto, the beautiful bride, the handsome groom in his Great Gatsby tuxedo, and the historic picturesque venues this turn into an incredible photography opportunity. Every where you turned is was like a James Bond movie!!
I will spare you the rest of the details since wedding photography is what I do best not write. I’m showing the main highlights of the this wedding day since we stared at 3:00 p.m. and ended up staying until 1:00a.m. The family is a mix of Cuban, and Jordanian members, thus the music played was both latin salsa, merengue, reggaeton and arabic in nature. There was spanish been spoken along with english and of course arabic. The theme of the reception was that of a middle eastern style which was orchestrated by Sari Sosa of Sari Sosa Events.
In here are the images followed by links to the venues and vendors, I hope you enjoy.

Un pequeño ejemplo de Fotos de la Sesión de Quinceañera tomada hoy Sábado en el Deering Estate que se encuentra al sur de Miami. La bella muchacha se comportó como una excelente modelo soportando un intenso calor. A pesar de la amenaza de lluvia tuvimos el tiempo necesario para terminar la sesión de fotos sin que una sola gota de agua nos cayera encima. Fue cuando en camino a mi casa que una fuerte tormenta vino a caer. Usamos el típico vestido de quinceañera y otros cambios de estilo incluyendo un set estilo estudiante de universidad y otro estilo basado en la moda de los años 20 de los Estados Unidos como se dice “Roaring Twenties” . Fuimos acompañados por los abuelos y amigas de la bella quinceañera en la sesión de fotos.
