His canvases
caught the light,
the color and
flavors of the
Mexico that he
loved so much.
Puebla cupboard.
Mexican culture and traditions were the main inspiration for his art work. Food, clothing,
and crafts were elements for his paintings that began to be exhibited in various galleries of the
country. I remember that my mother cooked the traditional Mexican “mole”, or the fish just in
time, when my father required them to be painted, warm, releasing their aromas. He sliced the
fruit at the moment, so he could catch the bright colors of the fresh juices. And so he painted
the traditional dishes, the mole poblano, the fish to the veracruzana style, the cochinita pibil
from the Maya culture .... And after being “models” we all savored them.
The acknowledgments appeared as a natural consequence. And the work reached horizons of
Spain, France and New York.
The passage of time that fades everything, has fallen on him and his memory will remain
forever among those who were avid collectors and buyers of his art, and in halls such as the
Museum of Ciudad de Mexico and the Museum of the Alfeñique in Puebla, PUE. This month of
June, we remember him in these pages. I know he does not rest in peace. He will be where he
like and he will be happy.
