Gentle Smiling Tree (2023) Painting

I am a Mexican artist living in Mexico City who creates soulful, vibrant and emotionally energetic portals to my human experience. In my paintings, I use rich color and bold, dynamic brushwork to capture the depth, beauty and vibrancy of my life. My Mexican heritage has given me a deep reverence for nature and an instinctive fluency in the language of color. My work is a reflection of this heritage: everything I put on canvas is vibrant, deeply infused with color, reminiscent of Mexico’s happy spirit and closeness with Earth. My art until this point has called on me to explore the incredible energy and beauty of nature and humanity through landscapes and portraits, drawing me to places where the contrast of natural and urban beauty is most pronounced. Self-portraits and mystical subject matter also have found their way into my work as a means of personal and spiritual introspection. I'm realizing that both the extraordinary and the mundane hold profound beauty in my life - so I integrate it all, capturing anything from electric moments at a techno festival, to quiet rhythms of daily life, to both peaceful and powerful moments experienced in nature. By sharing my art with others, I hope to inspire a profound awareness and appreciation for the rich, beautiful and complex worlds that exist both around us and within us.
