Bio

Gabriel was born in Baja California, Mexico, and raised in Lawrenceville, Georgia. His interest in the arts began at an early age, drawing characters for his classmates. Even in elementary school, he won the T-shirt design competition for the school’s Field Day. As he grew up, he took weekend painting classes to further develop his skills.

In high school, Gabriel attended the Suwanee Arts Association and competed in a statewide art competition, receiving a callback during his junior year from Valdosta State University. His creative journey continued when he was accepted into the Savannah College of Art and Design, where he studied color theory, life drawing, painting, and took electives such as fashion illustration. Gabriel graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design.

While building a career in New York’s fashion industry, Gabriel maintained his passion for painting. His color work and fashion designs have been featured in brands such as Vera Wang, Marchesa, Reem Acra, Michael Kors, Rhone, and Sergio Tacchini. In 2019, he held his first solo exhibition in Williamsburg. After a setback due to the pandemic, he is preparing for a three-day solo show in the East Village, scheduled for Summer 2025.
