Artist Residency at Kew Gardens-Orchid Festival
I was invited by The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew to take part in an art residency for the creation of two murals, three large paintings on canvas and twenty hand-painted ceramic pots inspired by the vibrant colors and forms of the tropical flora. For this project I was given a studio at the Tropical Nursery building, a beautiful space surrounded by extraordinary plant life that became a constant source of inspiration during the creation of the artworks.

Paddington Mural
Commissioned by Studio Canal and Visit London, I designed this mural for Sutton Walk on London's Southbank. The artwork is inspired by the traditional Peruvian Retablo Ayacuchano, an Andean artistic tradition recognised for its vibrant colours and narrative imagery.
The mural celebrates Paddington as a multicultural icon and symbol of the diversity and warmth that define the city of London.
Through vibrant colours and botanical motifs inspired by Peruvian visual traditions, the mural brings energy to the public space while welcoming visitors to this iconic London location.

The Big Egg Hunt
Warmi Pacha (Woman Earth)
Commissioned by Elephant Family and Clarence Court for The Big Egg Hunt, London, 2025 and Exhibited at The Strand, London, Warmi Pacha (Woman Earth) celebrates the connection between women, nature, and ancestral knowledge. On the front of the egg, a woman inspired by Latin American iconography holds an ear of corn — a sacred symbol of nourishment, fertility, and life. Beside her, a jaguar represents strength and the deep bond between humans and the natural world, while a radiant sun-like halo evokes vitality and spiritual presence. The reverse side of the sculpture features blooming flowers across a golden surface, symbolising growth, renewal, and the cycles of nature.Through vibrant colours and decorative elements drawn from Latin American traditions, the work honours the spirit of Pachamama — Mother Earth, celebrating abundance, protection, and our connection to the land.
