“I am fascinated in the the intersections between memory and place
as sites of personal and collective belonging and aim to explore
how places can acquire an identity of their own through
having a historical significance…”
En la Manana Llovieron Bugambilias
“…by changing with the passage of time, through the meaning given
to them by people, though their power of staying in peoples minds
as memories and finally by way of the communities and individuals
that inhabit such spaces.”
Los Arcos
“I am a Mexican artist based in the UK,
my work combines creative explorations
of my native Mexico
with social practice.”
“I seek to portray pieces of the nature
of communities and
of places.”
El Brujo Frente al Mar
El Torito
“I'm interested
in documenting human experiences
with my work.
I'm Intrigued by perception,
how we perceive
the world, how the world perceives us and how these interactions impact our identity
and behaviour.”
”I hope to transport people to imaginary places inspired
by my own recollections and to evoke a pleasant feeling of loneliness.”
Las Almas de Noviembre
Fronteras Pintadas
Papa Huichol
Los Arcos del Fin del Mundo
“Being Latin American
is a big part of who I am and is a big part
of my work. I'm especially interested in the magical realism it evokes
and I aim to portray
this in my work.”
