About me

The subjects and themes of my work are primarily centered around the Mexican celebration of Day of the Dead/Dia de Los Muertos. A perspective that developed from growing up in one of the states in Mexico that celebrates this very special day with artistry and beauty, Michoacan.

I see my art as an extension of the culture and history of Mexico and of that very special celebration.

My love for the amazingly bright and vibrant colors of Mexico have moved me to incorporate them in all of my works whether it be paints on a canvas, mixed media art pieces & sculptures. These colors are My culture, My history and My being in the world of "ARTE"!!!!
​
I am a self-taught artist who was born in Michoacán, Mexico and currently resides in Sunnyvale, CA.
