recuerdos de mi pintura

This is the painting that started everything. My passion for Dia de los Muertos and also my appreciation for the customs of the poor. It has become a need to paint this cemetery. I feel stable when I do so.

El Chalan

In a few days, I will be starting my second Chalan. I believe this Chalan to be important, magical and a transportation that takes you back and forth to the present and the past and to Mexico and the United States. The first time I went to do research a man there told me to photograph the Chalan when it came back from Mexico. He said it was the moment when the Chalan looked the most beautiful. It is about expecting and it is about the slow smooth movement it makes when it crosses the water. It is about wanting someone to come and take you back to the place where you left a part of yourself.

new concept

After seeing so many Youtube videos of Reynosa's shootings, I responded with artwork.

Mi Chacha

This is my chacha painting. Its pretty big: 3ft x 4ft. I keep seeing too many colors at once so I have found myself often stopping to get a hold of myself. For sure, I can see some colors did not come out in the picture. I have been putting glaces and also painting thick. For sure, this painting inspired me to do a salmon painting =)

Here are my chachalaca sketches

just me being a paradox

This is me...being not me...n then entirely me. I am lately working with black and white. Yes professors are right...when you start focusing only with black and white as your only source you start to understand color...yes color. Paradox...yes i love paradoxes n then yes I do hate them very much. =)
