| Introduction | Being born in a city as eclectic as Mexico City and later moving to New Orleans has greatly influenced and expressed in my Art. My work has been of a contemporary nature using the figure as the important element in the visual narrative, merging it with abstract concepts and techniques as a way to move through a space. All the elements become a metaphoric voice, capturing the human nature that is reflected while balancing between intimacy and distance. I attempt to search for an intimate connection with the human soul. Let the most basic feelings emerge from the eyes of the people that surrounds me, which I know and sometimes just meet. Portraiture allows me to explore emotions, experiences, memories and expectations, the ethereal nature of the human soul in the sublime unknown. My drawings and paintings are an extension of my identity, culture and the community I live in, using form and color as an idea, an attitude and an interpretation that questions the permanence of the world surrounding me. I seek a spiritual transformation through the use of different mediums, for a visual experience. |
