I started my career as an artist upon moving to San Francisco in 1992. Having discovered Mission Grafica at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts in San Francisco, I started experimenting with silkscreen printing. In 1993 a group of mostly exiled artists and political refugees invited me to participate in a collaborative project celebrating 500 Years of Resistance with my piece La lluvia, (The Rain). My work is often political, frequently dealing with cultural identity, the immigrant experience, language and war. My best-known work is The California Lottery. It was the first part of a body of work inspired by the Mexican Lottery and was in response to the anti immigrant Proposition 187 introduced in 1994.

Currently, I am exhibiting my work titled Noviembre 1985 in San Francisco and Bogotá. This is a cohesive body of work from constructed memories about a short , but intensive period in my native Colombia. I appropriated the pop aesthetics of portraiture that Andy Warhol used for his celebrities portraits and the Accident series because Warhol was the most popular artist of the 80's the time where all these events happened. This latest work is also in memoriam of Alfonso Jacquin Gutierrez who disappeared at the take of the palace 25 years ago.
