ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Pitaya is a cactus fruit and along with the tuna and pitahaya are one of the most popular ethnic fruits in Mexico. The Mexican Pitaya is characterized by its red, yellow and green colors and its oval shape create a visual spectacle while they are displayed in markets or popular fruit stalls. The Pitaya is the object of inspiration in many indigenous communities that serve as aesthetic elements present in handicrafts and even as an ingredient to achieve specific pigments that are used to color textiles and a diversity of handicrafts. As an artist it is inevitable to let myself be influenced by the colors and shape of this fruit, it is inspired by several pieces from País Maravilla my latest series. Pitaya is a 220 cmø x 5 cm Diptych divided into two panels of 110 cm x 220 cm x 5 cm which is entirely painting using natural pigments and it's ready to be hanged. Note: the colors shown in the images may vary depending on the device from which it is 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.
