"It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work."
- David Hockney
Antonio is a proud Colombian that has become a Las Vegas resident since Feb. 2016. He has always felt strongly attracted to the arts, nature and numbers. It became clear to him to study graphic design, a career that helps him observe, think and represent the world around us. He has worked in editorial design, illustration and advertising however for him, the balance in society is reached through education. Tied with his desire to learn, there is the need to teach. For this reason, Antonio taught geometry and abstract reasoning, even going as far as helping young people get access to higher education in Colombia. He believes that there is nothing more harmful to imagination and innovation than to think that there is only one “right” way of doing things. Antonio hopes that in the future, he will work again in education in one way or another.
He has been an advocate for equal rights, regardless of race, gender, or religion. For him, equality comes in the form of opportunities, not classifications. Antonio believes differences should be celebrated and diversity enriches people’s lives.
