ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Aluxes. It is the name given to the elf or spirit in the mythological tradition of some Mayan peoples of southeastern Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. The aluxo'ob or aluxes are believed to be small, only approaching the height of the average person's knees, and appearing like miniature people, traditionally dressed in Mayan fashion. Tradition holds that aluxes are generally invisible, but can assume physical form for the purpose of communicating with or frightening humans as well as congregating among them. The composition of this piece is composed of cylindrical figures with oval pill-type ends that are originally large-format pieces called poppy seeds in the same series and that for practical purposes in this one create hyperdimensional patterns accompanied with the composition of the alebrijes also belonging to the same series. My intention is not to copy but to inspire myself and reinterpret patterns of indigenous art and create my own abstract version of what indigenous art is for me and its influence on contemporary Western civilization. ALUXE Madre is an original mixed media artwork on canvas measuring 190 cm x 190 cm x 5cm. Note: The colors in the images shown may vary depending on the resolution of the screen of the device from which they are viewed.

My approach to the arts began at the age of six with the study of piano and fine arts. As a teenager I got involved in theater and in that context I discovered scenography and stage production which ended up shaping the worldview of my “artist self.” I studied architecture and for a short time I worked as a set designer and later I found my passion for cultural management, an area in which I discovered my vocation as an administrator, maker, creator, executor, and organizer, which would ultimately serve as a foundation for structuring my career as artist. After years of resistance I returned to the plastic arts and immersed myself in the study of the popular arts of Mexico as well as the analysis of the uses and customs of various indigenous peoples, focusing my interest on the visual aesthetics of their crafts, clothing, as well as its spiritual worldview and its symbolism at the same time that my passion for modern architecture and industrial, textile, furniture and automotive design gave life to a peculiar way of seeing art. My work is the reflection of all the above, it is the encounter of possibilities, the consequence of my desire to amalgamate concepts and styles that are often antagonistic to each other and of my interest in everything that does not have to be explained but rather felt, it is the encounter of the indigenous with the modern, the ancestral and the present, the abstract imagination with spatial formality, they are the celebration of my own meaning of being myself.
