La chacha ya se va pa su casa

My chacha is done.

Only in the Valley

This is the beginning of my second chalan. The sky is something that I had not painted in a long time and it is very relaxing.

the string is the new line

I started today with my artwork that I will exhibit at my Dia de los Muertos Exhibition. This year it will be much different than before. I will include new media like I did in the previous one. Besides! I am going much bigger this time. This is a close up of a big drawing. I used string and cloth. Hopefully I will throw in a third and fourth media soon.

Reynosa la maravillosa!

Many think Reynosa is not Mexico. More so, they think Reynosa could not have the possibility to inspire art. Yes, I was born in Reynosa and maybe this might make me see more than there is. But, I am attracted to chaos and irregularities of all sorts found in space. Here is my painting of the plaza de Reynosa capturing the calm chaos that the colors generate. Did I say already I love paradoxes?

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.
