I have been living in Mexico for more than 15 years, a country where death plays a fundamental role at a cultural level, with celebrations such as the Day of the Dead on November 2. My stay in this wonderful country has greatly influenced my work, being the duality of life and death a theme that often inspires me.

SKULLS

When I create resin busts I enjoy experimenting with shapes, textures and materials. Hence the flowers are mixed media ranging from paper to latex.

RESIN BUSTS

In the bronze busts I have tended to work with the idea of costumes that go hand in hand with identities, as well as themes associated with the individuality of being.

BRONZE BUSTS

I am passionate about the human anatomy, and looking at the female anatomy gives me the opportunity to talk about mythology, identity, introspection and reinvention of oneself.

FEMALE BRONZE FIGURES

The sculpture of the male figure in bronze allows me to explore from infant to adult bodies, and to give different finishes to the patina according to my chromatic search, as well as accessories that allow the characterization of the characters of my fantastic universe.

MALE BRONZE FIGURES

I have been working for many years on the modeling of the female figure, it is one of my many ways of exploring identity.
