We're all too busy. Current algorithms promote a 1-2 second attentiveness. Consequently, we miss the small stuff and what matters most. We avoid eye contact and protect what and how we feel. Art helps me suspend a meaningful moment in perpetuity.
I was born in Mexico City and raised in the states. I have lived in several countries including Spain, Costa Rica, Mexico and several states within the US.
My art has been influenced by my travels, the rich cultures I have experienced and many, many artists Old Masters and new contemporary ones that I admire.
My current interests include contemporary figurative art and the subtle or strong emotion felt by what we see. I am fascinated by realism but find contemporary expression a vehicle to express complex meaning. My work tries to translate emotions that words cannot express clearly.
If my art holds your attention- even momentarily- and generates an emotion, I will have achieved what I set out to do. I am early in my art journey and excited to see where the creative road takes me.
