When did you first want to become a model? At the age of fourteen, I discovered my interest in modelling and beauty in general. It was then that I realised modelling was about much more than appearance; it was about expression, presence and discipline.

Who are your model or fashion heroes? My main modelling inspirations are David Gandy, Yoesry Dotre, Francisco Lachowski, Jordan Barrett and Alton Mason. I admire each of them for their professionalism, presence in front of the camera, ability to convey emotions and the way they have built successful international careers. However, one of my greatest inspirations is Valentina Castro from Colombia. Seeing someone from my own country achieve international recognition shows me that dreams can become reality through dedication, discipline and consistency.

What would it mean to win the contest? Winning Elite Model Look would mean much more to me than simply earning a title. It would represent the result of years of hard work, discipline, personal growth and perseverance. The idea that a humble young man from Colombia could compete on an international stage and potentially win one of the most prestigious modelling competitions in the world is incredibly meaningful to me.

What is your coffee shop order? Matcha.

What do you want people to remember about you? What I want people to remember about me is that I stayed true to myself and used that authenticity to positively impact others.
