About the Art:
In April 2024, I began a series of six murals titled Agaves and Coyotes, where I explored shapes and color in spaces such as private homes, restaurants, and a building. To continue this exploration, I decided to create carved MDF prints, using black and white to highlight qualities that caught my attention as I carefully observed the possibilities that agaves offer in their natural environment, thus exploring new forms and abstractions of the image.
For the exhibition “Sticks and Stones,” I prepared a series of sculptures made using the ferrocement technique, an exploration that continues both in form and concept. From my Oaxacan origins, I observe the Southern Californian desert and reinterpret it. Here is the desert, here are its creatures, here the desert speaks.
