I was born in Mexico City, Mexico during the 60’s. I studied Art at Wright State University. My life is full of experiences that have allowed me to develop as an artist. Being born in Mexico has embedded great fondness for what most people would label as morbid images. Mexican art is a mixture of pre-Hispanic images blended with the graphic, and sometimes terrifying, images of a bleeding and battered Jesus. The horrendous realities of constant war and political instability that the country experienced from 1810 to the 1930’s were the inspiration of many great artists. Some wanted to use their artistic abilities to attest to the brutal every day life in Mexico. Others used their art to express their political opinions. When I paint or create sculptures I see a fusion of influences from my native country. Jose Maria Velasco and his landscapes, Posada and his morbid sense of humor, Diego Rivera and his desire to show us the harsh reality of the life of the Mexican peasants oppressed by the bourgeoisie, and Frida Kahlo, who painted from the heart in order for us to sense her physical and psychological torture.

Art Supplies, books and Home depot.

My whole life is lived as a hobby. I enjoy every breath I take.

Thank you for visiting my page.  I learned a lot about your title by reading the "About Me" section, which was very informative.  I definitely see a connection to Freida Kahlo, whom I have studied in the past (and taught to elementary school children when I was a teacher).  I really like your work and appreciate you taking the time to visit my spot and make a nice comment.

Gracias Gaby por los comentarios sobre el cuadro de las Palmeras la verdad es que este cuadro fue un capricho para mi pues cuando voy a la playa y estoy bajo una palapa siempre veo estas escenas de palmeritas con el cielo atras y un día dije lo voy a pintar y pued lo tengo en mi habitacion arriba de mi cama y me encanta. Ya vi el grabado del Che, guau!! Bueno me dio gusto hacer contacto contigo otra vez, saludos!!!

Yeah, Its gonna be a painting.  Not sure I want to do it black and white.  Might do a bright red over a blue background or something like that.
