I WAS BORN IN OAXACA, MEXICO.  AT THE AGE OF  SEVEN   I WOULD GAZE AT THE STARS AND  I DREAMED OF A BETTER LIFE THAT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE  THAT I HAD.

SO I MOVED TO MEXICO CITY TO LIVE WITH MY GRANDPARENTS AND ALTHOUGH NO ONE IN MY FAMILY ENCOURAGED ME  TO PURSUE ART, MY PASSION BLOSSOMED THERE.  EXPOSURE TO ARTIST LIKE RUFINO TAMAYO, FRIDA  KAHLO, REMEDIOS VARO AND LEONORA CARRINGTON, THEY  INSPIRED MY PAINTING STYLE. WHEN I MOVED TO THE UNITED STATES I WORKED FOR THE AUTHOR ISABEL ALLENDE AND SHE ASKED ME  “WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO CREATE FOR YOUR LIFE HERE?”. I TOLD HER I WANTED TO BE AN ARTIST  LIKE DIEGO RIVERA. THE VERY NEXT DAY SHE GAVE ME PAINT BRUSHES AND SAID  “HERE, START PAINTING”.   OVER THE YEARS  MY WORK EVOLVED INTO SELF-PORTRAITS IN A SURREALISTIC  STYLE WITH BRIGHT  COLORS AND FLOWERS. THESE PAINTINGS REFLECT MY DESIRE TO ALTER MYSELF AND MY ENVIRONMENT.
