The God´s Eye is a spiritual and votive object made by weaving a thread design on a wooden cross. Often several colors are used. The Eye of God is an offering that is made to the gods to ask for the good growth of children. An element that synthesizes the worldview of Huichol people. The parents are in charge of elaborating the eye of God that their children will take to the drum party. In this party the boys and girls are introduced to the gods and are initiated into the ceremonial life of the Wixarika people (Huicholes). This version, a bit more elaborate, is my own interpretation of the God´s eye, placing the peyote heart inside the diamond, to present my own version of the God´s eye.

I am inspired by the culture of the Huichol people, an indigenous population located in the center of Mexico, mainly in the states of Jalisco and Nayarit. Among many things, the Huicholes are characterized for the use and consumption of Peyote for religious purposes. Happy World Series, deals with the morphology and architecture of the peyote plant, as well as for its effects. At the same time, I re interpreted the aesthetics of the Huichol art, as the result of the effects of peyote. As in all I do; Geometry is still present in my work. Happy World comprises of Painting on latex, canvas, MDF board and Digital; also various types of sculptures, as well as installations.

***This piece is painted using natural pigments from indigenous communities.

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.
