My Story

If I could choose an identity, I would say I'm a writer. However, I haven't published that much in my life, lol. That realization made me start this blog. I wrote a Preface about it.

What I've done more publicly and professionally is classical piano playing. I also have some history with dancing, a little bit of drawing, and studying Arts and Culture.

At some point in my life, I realized I was experiencing art in a very unhealthy way, mentally and physically. I reached a point when it was simply unsustainable. Wouldn't it be better if I produced from a healthy state of being? I wondered.

Entering the world of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth made me radically change my life path and walk away from performing arts, so I stopped playing the piano in public years ago.

Then, I got the urgency to create and practice creativity more directly. I created this blog and started experimenting with different hobbies. You can read about that process in the Chapter Pitaya Letters, a series of 12 letters where I wrote about creativity.

Since then, I've been on the constant lookout for balance, calm-being, and good health to try to answer this question: What could I create from a balanced state of being? Are there more sustainable ways of practicing art?

I also have lots of questions regarding art, creativity, learning, and well-being. I'm eager to explore all these questions through personal experimentation and research. The Articles section is the home for those explorations and discoveries.

Now (2026), I'm documenting in my newsletter Aire my process of healing and reconnecting to my body and music through the recorder, an instrument I'm learning from scratch in a very free way. You'll also find my love for plants and natural surroundings.

Thank you for being here. It took me a while to write this About Me page. You can read all my reflections about how to write an about me page here, in case you find it useful.
