Statement
My paintings are representational. I like to explore the Human figure and their endless aesthetic possibilities. I use the circle to represent the human head. The idea of the circle comes from the teachings of Jose Ortega y Gasset philosopher from Spain.
My paintings are circumstantial; they reflect parts of my life story, images that unravel in my mind and remain captured on the canvas.
The fundamental task of the artist is to translate everyday reality into symbols, creating a personal language.
(Jorge Luis Borges).
My painting process is a blend of intuition and reason. When I start a painting, I do it on the intuitive level, almost playing with colors. As the painting develops, I become immersed in the composition, where it becomes more analytical, seeking a balance between intuition and reason.
The themes of my work are rooted in literature, poetry, philosophy, and cinema, drawing inspiration from Mexican popular culture.
I earned a master’s degree from Pratt Institute in New York in 1993.
A bachelor's degree in Architecture from UNAM (Autogobierno) in Mexico City in 1985.
I’ve been living in San Francisco since 2018, and created two murals for the San Francisco General Hospital.
I‘ve exhibited my work in San Francisco, Atlanta, Florida, Puerto Rico, New York, and Mexico City.
