I am a Mexican artist currently living in Vancouver. I recently graduated as a Fine Art and Art Historian. In my work I have been exploring not only subjects like mental health, landscapes, and the female figure, but also I have been experimenting with the theme of abstraction with traditional and non –traditional materials, which I had not used before. These explorations have been documented through my paintings, prints, drawings and photographs.
I am exploring these themes, as I want to break stereotypes regarding mental health as I suffered depression myself. I see my work as joining the conversation as I want to defy social norms and challenge viewers with what should be considered taboo. Also, I am working with the female figure, as I want to defy woman’s fragility and role in society. Furthermore, my photographs intend to showcase admiration of neglected or overlooked aspects of nature.
As I continue to study art, my spectrum broadens into new creative possibilities.
