Originally from Yantzaza, known as the Valley of the Fireflies and the Light of the Ecuadorian Amazon, he began his artistic journey at a very young age—as a sketch artist, painter, muralist, and tattooist. At just 17, he picked up his first tattoo machine and began chasing a dream.

A protégé of renowned tattoo artist Karlos Chávez, he has traveled to over 10 countries, gathering experiences, friendships, and knowledge along the way. Specializing in realism, his work is deeply inspired by pre-Hispanic roots, deities, and classic films. His precision in cover-ups and reconstruction tattoos is especially noteworthy.

With more than a decade of experience, he is now based in Houston, TX, where Rides on the Storm is his home studio.
