Meet the woman whose professionalism will have your eyebrow reach the sky and your mouth drag onto the floor simultaneously.

How did you first discover that you wanted to be a hair and make-up artist? How long ago have you been in this industry?I’ve been in this industry my whole life. I was born and grew up in a beauty salon. I like to bring to life everything that I sketch and paint. I’m in love with that process.
Your mother is a hair stylist and owns her own shop. How big is her impact on your life?My mother is my everything. She always pushed me to be as artistically free as possible. She let me created whatever vision I had and taught me that nothing is impossible.
Are you the woman that you dreamt about when you were a little girl?
I believe I’m getting there.
What artists have influenced your artist path?
Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol are some of my favorite. As I grew in the 80’s music also took a big roll as part of my inspiration, artists like Souxie and the Banshees, Blondie, Madonna. But what has impacted me the most is seeing men wear glam rock make-up like David Bowie. That proved to me the endless possibilities of the art of make-up and hair. It’s timeless and genderless.
What difficulties have you encountered as a contemporary artist when it comes to apply your artsy skills?Sometimes I feel I have to hold back on my creativity, not many people are open-minded or appreciate what’s different.
Who would you die for to stylize their hair or do their make-up?
Lady-Gaga
Aside from this fashion and beauty industry you are in, what else interests you?
Art is my life! But I also love to travel, to see places I’ve never thought of before. I also like to fish, ride motorcycles and to paint.
It seems that passion is one powerful motor that keeps you going everyday. What else is essential to be a successful artist like yourself?
To be successful is to love what you do. If you don’t, then you haven’t found what’s going to make you successful.
If we have to erase the words “make-up artist” and “hair styling” from the dictionary, how would you describe what you do?
A visionary. I create, it stars from my heart the to my brain then to paper and then I bring it to life.
