Biography I’m a self-taught artist from Puebla, Mexico. I work primarily with acrylic painting and I’m also a muralist. My artistic journey began as a way to explore my emotions and personal experiences, and over time, it became a language of its own- soft, moving, and honest. My work is deeply connected to my roots, my memories, my desires, and the emotions that shape how I move through the world. I use color and subtle, flowing brushstrokes to create a sense of movement. I’m constantly learning and experimenting, letting myself be guided by what I feel, what I see, and the stories I want to tell through each piece. My art is always evolving – a reflection of both who I am and who I’m becoming. As a muralist, I love working on a larger scale- bringing walls to life with flowers, vibrant colors, and the same sense of gentle motion that runs through all my work. Each mural is a celebration of beauty, nature, and emotion made visible. Artist statement My paintings begin with a feeling – quiet, sometimes fleeting, but persistent. They are shaped by memories, dreams, desires, and the thoughts that linger just beneath the surface. I paint to understand what I feel, to let go of what weighs on me, and to give form to what words often fail to express. Each piece becomes a space where past and future can meet – where longing, hope, and reflection exist together in motion. My visual language is a soft bur emotionally charged, with brushstrokes that suggest movement – like everything is gently shifting, always on its way somewhere. There’s a balance between stillness and chaos in color, and within that space, I trust the rhythm to guide me. My work often explores nature, the human figure, and cultural elements – rooted in my Mexican heritage but also inspired by the beauty I find in other traditions. I approach each painting intuitively, allowing emotion to shape composition, palette and form. I see my art as a quiet kind of storytelling- not linear, but emotional. I want each piece to feel like a moment you’ve lived before, or a memory you didn’t know you had. There’s a space in the work for others to bring their own meaning – to feel seen, to feel understood. I paint to share my deepest emotions, my love for where I come from, and the way I see the world around me. My art is a space for connections, for vulnerability, and for finding comfort in life’s constant movement.
