Hey there,

I'm Gabo

Founder, CEO & Freelance Artist

I am a Deaf, award-winning multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Venezuela, now based in Rochester, NY. My artistic practice spans Photography, Graphic Design, and Filmmaking.

​

I hold a BFA in Photographic and Imaging Arts with a focus on Visual Media from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Currently, I am both a staff member and an MFA student in Film Production at RIT, where I am honing my skills in cinematography and directing.

​

My diverse identities as a Latino, immigrant, Deaf, and Christian enrich my visual storytelling, allowing me to create work that emphasizes emotional impact.

​

In the summer of 2012, I moved from Venezuela to New York City with just two suitcases. It was in the vibrant atmosphere of the Big Apple that I began my journey as a photographer and immersed myself in the artistic community.

​

A couple of fun facts about me: I am multilingual and have traveled to nearly every country in South America.

​

In my free time, I enjoy going on photography walks, Latin dancing, watching movies, and spending time with my loved ones.
