In the youthful years , my ambitions grew and my parents gave me permission
to spend long hours in my aunt›s chemical laboratory. I found there liquid substances, colored
pigments that I mixed to achieve the tonalities I was looking for. I discovered that the colors and
textures opened for me new horizons.
It was only the beginning and I continued to forge my illusions with diverse teachers very respected
in the Mexican plastic arts. With them I learned mainly what we could call technical aspects, the
handling of the materials, the mixtures and their applications, the structure of the images. Then came
the stages where I sought to assert myself in my painting. I admired teachers like Alejandro Arango,
Enrique Guzmán (not the singer) who I immediately felt influenced my quest to find a style.
My shapes and colors, applied to the figurative elements of my pictures, were definitely achieved
under the inspiration of these masters. Many of my works have those elements. My style is figurative,
but I think it is best described as contemporary Mexican.
My characters are of a figurative reality. They come from a story and they are telling it to us.
I feel that I´m just doing what I want and I like it. I will continue exploring the Mexican pictorial style
under this intense influence that is San Miguel de Allende, with its colors, its atmosphere and its joy.
However, I cannot help thinking, that someday I will go into the abstract expression.
