About

As a Mexican-born, self-taught artist living in the United States, my work serves as an instinctive observation of the world around me. I am deeply interested in the intersections of time, memory, internet culture, and the psychology of the everyday. Through my portraits and figurative drawings, I explore themes of identity and social commentary in a subtle, non-explicit manner, finding the surreal within the mundane aspects of life.

My creative process is rooted in observations I capture through photography that resonate with me. By translating these images onto paper using accessible materials like pens and colored pencils, I honor the quotidian by freezing it in time. Removing these images from their original context allows me to investigate what they reveal about my own perspective and the broader human experience.

Influenced by the traditional narrative power of artists like Manet and Caravaggio, as well as the contemporary visual language of animation and cartoons, my work seeks to give found moments a new, permanent context. Each piece is an inquiry into the stories we tell ourselves when we stop to truly look at the world.
