Kalos B is a piece that arises from the decontextualization of another piece called KALóS. Aiming to break with the square pattern of the series and give the piece a dramatic and at the same time daring look; KALóS B becomes a large-format circular artwork.

Kaleidoscope series contains pieces on canvas, and MDF panel in various shapes and formats, especially large ones, and in fact, with this series I completely define one of my main characteristics as an artist, using only large formats to make my artwork. In this series I try to emulate in a metaphorical way, the effect of “the infinite”, and because the figures and shapes created by this cylinder are pure geometry; they inevitable invite me to unleash the imagination and create my own versions of these figures. 

Another central aspect to build this series is the Kaleidoscope´s structural and architectural analysis; and by naming my pieces after its components I contribute to give it a sense of permanence, turning the ephemeral into a permanent concept.
In addition to the kaleidoscope structural aspect; it is the visual effects produced by the mirrors and the internal objects that really push me to give life to pieces that conceptually contain the same visual hyperdimensional language that the eye captures through the device's hole; shapes and figures with saturated colors that sometimes cannot be understood but at the same time they move our  emotions due to their unique and whimsical appearance. 

One characteristic that identifies my work no matter the subjet matter and theme, is the use of monochromatic and flat backgrounds in the paintings, which place the observer in an abstract geometric plane, alien to material reality, but full of formal and dimensional possibilities, and that creates a paradox that intensifies, while the paintings are full of smooth colors and straight lines, in some cases almost technical, and that nevertheless, make up a spatial and formal ambiguity which I find exiting.

Explaining my relationship with the environment that surrounds me has been a way to describe the essence of my expressive work. However, I am not a simple interpreter of reality, as my creative process is equally fueled by the will to form, memory, and subjective emotion. Evidence of this is the selection of pieces from my last three series: "KAleidoscope (2020)", "Mundo Feliz (2022)" and "PÍS MARAVILLA (2024)." I was born in Guadalajara and early on nourished my visual horizon with the material heritage of Mexico and the dizzying industrial culture of the Western world. My training, as my works suggest, oscillated between architecture, set design, and the visual arts. The context of my creation ranges from the familiar to the strange, from my own to the foreign, always drawing on the visual tradition of the many places I have inhabited. Perhaps for this reason, the viewer can find in my paintings and sculptures not only an evident technical mastery, a fruit of my education, but also a latent questioning of the disciplinary definitions of art and design that burst into my work with complete freedom, without detours or academic pretensions. The geometry and color that give form to my work hold the secret of my eternal return, the magic of my connection with mundane reality and "non-ordinary reality." I found in the remembrance of Mexico the impetus for my representation, making memory the ideal filter for the production of my images, rather than the direct contemplation of things. What for minimalists like Frank Stella, Sol Lewit, or Víctor Vasarely meant the abandonment of representation, for me is the natural expression of Mexican culture. What we see is nothing more than the result of my meticulously trained eye, translating the living richness of the cosmogony of the Wixárika, Xotzil, Purepecha, and other indigenous worlds, all within an autonomous visual language. So it is an honor to present the dynamic vision of what some experts call me a "contemporary optical shaman" and I do embrace it with pride.
