I am a Mexican painter currently living and working in Spain. My work explores painting as a space where the visible and the invisible meet, where emotion, memory, and symbolism quietly surface through the material itself.
Working primarily with oil and watercolor, I approach painting as a process of transformation. I am deeply interested in the dialogue between control and surrender: allowing water, pigment, and layered surfaces to guide the image as much as my own hand. Through this process, figures and symbols emerge slowly, carrying traces of vulnerability, mysticism, and human fragility.
My paintings often exist in a suspended atmosphere, somewhere between dream and reality, where subtle gestures and symbolic elements invite contemplation rather than explanation. I am drawn to moments of transition: states where something is dissolving, becoming, or revealing itself.
I have exhibited my work in galleries and museums in Mexico, France, Portugal, and Spain. Living between cultures has shaped my artistic voice, allowing me to weave together personal memory, spiritual inquiry, and material experimentation.
For me, painting is both an intimate ritual and an open invitation: a quiet space where viewers can pause, reflect, and perhaps discover something of themselves within the image.
