"Happiness is evidence of one's own freedom in knowing the truth"

Born and raised in the city of Leon, Gto. Mexico. As a child, l became aware of my surrounding environment and the views that l developed by merely observing from the windows and roof-tops, especially, the phenomenon created by the movement of the sunlight; shifting constantly, creating a whole new environment, which really captured my attention. A fascination reinforced as l grew up.

These new observations combined with what l describe as didactic visions from my childhood, reshaped my life as a new "window", a platform to observe from. Now from this point of view l offer through painting a visual field that, as an observer, l appreciate with constant wonder.

Without formal art study or training, using paint as a medium l compensate for the imaginable on canvass. My current body of work is expansive as far as one can see, yet tactical, from a potent colour combo as well as tonalities and forms evoking emptiness, in order to capture the intention that is being communicated through my art.

Lately, I've been focussing on the development of an ideology that I introduce as a part of a series of works based on what l define as the ‘Center of Centers’, the knot of all connections, how it operates and all of its components. As part of this series, l also envision an interaction within, the slight layer that divides the internal forms from the external, to describe what was known as ‘Man's Kingdom’ throughout history for ancient cultures. Most ‘forms’ captured from my visual field using filters as it could be ancestral knowledge as binoculars for external and cosmology as a microscope for internal, transcending the perception of the physical body and revealing lost connections spoken for ages as dogmas, previously ruled out to the naked eye for contemporary concepts.
