Having been born between two commentaries in Mexico City, el "D.F." Dia de los Muertos is more than in my blood, I was literary born right in the middle of it. I feel hearts, life and death are universal symbols all human kind can relate to. This is why Day of the Dead is such a predominant subject matter in my work. The following is a collection of paintings and watercolors I have made.
"La Pelona" 2002
Chalk pastel on birch wood.
