I was born in 1965 in Jalisco,
a state on the west coast of Mexico, and I grew up in Colima, where I started
to paint.
Here - at the age of 12 - I approached painting under the guidance of master Jorge Chavez Carrillo.
Later, studying Graphic Art at the University of Guadalajara, I fell in love with modern and contemporary art thanks to master Gustavo Aranguren.
In late '80s, I moved to Spain and then to Italy,
working in graphic and advertising companies, collaborating with set designers
and photographers. In these years, I continued to paint, developing a peculiar
personal technique.
Since 1989, I have displayed my works in collective
and personal exhibitions in Spain, Italy and Mexico.
Since 2002, I have been organizing creative workshops
based on the use of colors and rhythm in Milan, where I have lived for a long
time and - in the last years - in Piedmont, close to the Alps, where I am
living now.
For me, painting is transforming energy.
I use sand, a natural primordial and changeable element, as a catalyst, capable of creating unexpected textures and reflections.
I patiently apply multiple thin layers of color by
dabbing quickly, with a constant rhythm, like a mantra.
I observe color vibrations with quiet mind, since
nothing is still, everything is transforming, everything is movement.
