Born in Cordoba Veracruz, Mexico in 1980, I was the youngest of 6 siblings. I had early aspirations to be an artist, however, due to unforeseen obstacles, I chose to ignore my talents. About ten years down the road, my artistic intuitions could not be held back any longer and I realized my passion for painting. Life in Mexico is a major influence in my work and often the subject of my pieces. My hometown's culture, rich history and deep sense of spirituality is reflected by my bright and colorful palette. My mother still remains to be one of my main influences. She taught me to feel, experience, and appreciate life.
My works is a series of journal entries that documented all the memories and imaginations flowing out of me. The internal image of my mother gave a great deal of inspiration. The memory of her face is still fresh in my mind. She taught me to be strong, wise, and thankful for every day of my life. The many struggles she passed through made her eyes look sad but her smile stays bright and happy.
My mother taught me to feel, experience, and appreciate. I learned her lesson. I paint what I remember from the past and what I see around me today. Through my artwork I tell my own story and the stories of others who do not have a chance to be heard. I want to relate, connect, and achieve unity with others. I wish each of you to become a part of my life as well as me to become a part of yours.
