Tell us something.
I’m a Colombian-Venezuelan lawyer living in Mexico City. I ended up here because I love exploring the world, trying new things and getting to know new people. The world inspires me.
So, where do you find inspiration on a daily basis?
People, food, fashion, art, architecture. I find myself lost looking at how these things interact naturally in life.

What about modeling?
I think it’s almost like acting. I always imagine that I’m a character, trying to freeze his story through pictures. Some shoots are happy, others are more nostalgic. Sensual ones are definitely my favorite.

How do you achieve your goals?
I’ve always been very determined about what I want. But I believe balance is the key. I always work hard and try to remind myself that sometimes we need rest to enjoy the process.

What is the one thing you wish more people knew?
That they can do everything they want. For example, I’m a lawyer but I love modeling. Not everything in life is black or white. It’s about enjoying those grey areas, that balance between what you love and what inspires you.
