Art Cards, Editions & Originals [ACEO]
As an artist, I’m interested in the topic of ACEO cards, and in this section I’ll be showcasing the artworks I create in this format. Although, to be honest, my pieces will be a variation — they’ll measure 5.9 cm x 8.6 cm, in honor of the size of Yu-Gi-Oh cards. In that case, should I call them YACEO? Haha, just kidding.
This project begins on October 10, 2025, while I’m backpacking through the city of Arequipa, Peru.
I’ll be hosting each ACEO card here in this virtual space — and maybe I’ll post some on Instagram, Behance, or Twitter. Follow me on my social media and support my art!
Prototype
This would be the related prototype, taken from a page of my 2025 travel sketchbook. As I explored the idea a bit more, I became convinced — I’ve always thought that my travel lifestyle lends itself to creating digital art or small, easily transportable pieces.

SACRED ART
In Colombia, under the guidance of Maestro Venegas, a renowned plastic artist, I have had the invaluable opportunity to immerse myself in sacred art—a field that intertwines tradition, spirituality, and artistic technique. Thanks to his mentorship and his focus on the intricate details that make this type of art unique, I have been fortunate to become part of a highly dedicated artistic team. Together, we have worked on creating pieces specifically designed for churches in various municipalities across the country, contributing to the enrichment of their cultural heritage and conveying messages that deeply resonate within their communities.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
In the different art classes that I have taught, I have always enjoyed exploring new spaces that help to address social issues. Art should be a tool to bring society together. While the student's artistic process is important, we should not focus solely on training them as artists. Instead, we should help them understand their role in society and encourage their ability to have a positive impact on it. We must encourage them to investigate and learn more about their community, as well as to create new stories that contribute to improving their environment.

CÓMO ENSEÑO
Desde las diferentes clases de arte que he dictado, siempre me ha gustado explorar nuevos espacios que ayuden a resolver problemáticas sociales. El arte debe ser una herramienta para unir a la sociedad. Si bien el proceso del estudiante es importante, no debemos enfocarnos únicamente en formar artistas, sino en ayudarles a comprender su rol en la sociedad y fomentar su capacidad para generar un impacto positivo en ella. Debemos incentivarlos a investigar y descubrir más sobre su territorio, así como también a crear nuevas historias que contribuyan a mejorar su entorno.

DIGITAL ART
I create digital art using the programs Illustrator and Photoshop. Often, I mix digital art with comic books and graphic novels. The themes I usually use are science fiction and fantasy.
