ARTIST STATMENT
As a child I saw myself constantly forced to confront the death of people close to me, it impacted me. Exposed to a lot of wonderful things such as the sky and the mountains, I devoted my time to observe and investigate the world near my house, at the of age 6, I started to manufacture inks with plants, this practice continued until now with the production of my own watercolors, encaustic, oil and some other art experiments.
Despite the beauty of my loved country, Mexico, is impossible to ignore the fact that the current situation is scary. My own life and family, like most, has been touched by the carafes of insecurity by rape, murder and abductions which have caused great pain and a series of questions referred in my artwork over fate, love, moments, emptiness, fragility, nostalgia and memory.
I enjoy large formats that allow me to stretch creating awareness of one's body and promoting movement (stillness suffocates me) but I like small details. My language is subtle and feminine I like things to be beautiful even when they talk about the awful, sad and dark, this stories maybe tell through light.
