One of the most influential things on art is culture. Traditions, history and legacy blend together to act as a keyhole for the artist’s soul; all my work is created around this notion and the central belief of representing who I am.
This process - influenced by traditional iconographies, colors and concepts - has taken me to rediscover my Mexican roots and myself.
