Bio
I am influenced both by the cultural richness of my hometown of Mexico City as well as the urban landscapes of New York City. Working in mixed media is constantly an exploration. Each piece is a unique vision within a minimalist aesthetic.

Statement
I am influenced both by the cultural richness of my hometown of Mexico City as well as the urban landscapes of New York City. As a mixed media artist, I experiment with technique and use diverse materials such as wood, metal, acrylic, paper, glass and resin. I focus on creating subtle textures and blurring the boundaries between two- and three-dimensional perspectives so that the viewer's eye sees something new at every level and on every inch of the piece. Working in mixed media is a constant learning experience, an exploration to discover how unlikely things will react to each other. I want each piece to be a unique vision within an overall minimalist aesthetic.
