I was born in Merida, Mexico in 1968 and later moved with my family to Mexico City. As a chief resident, my father was placed in the National Institute of Neurology. The institute was located in the woods of  south Mexico City where we lived in an isolated cabin. My typical playgroup included my two brothers, my sister, my cousins and eight dogs. We ran everywhere to explore new territories. Once we discovered an abandoned kindergarten and that supplied my first art materials. Soon after my father finished his residency we moved back to Merida. My magical reality was replaced with the routine of a well-educated young bourgeois.

At the age of 21 I moved back to Mexico City to join the National School of painting “La Esmeralda”. The program was disappointing and not enough for my education as an artist, so, I’ve decided to open my own studio, and started producing and organizing my first exhibition along with some classmates. I also enrolled in an acting studio that gave me my first experiences as a set designer. Life in the biggest city of the world, where diversity and contrasts play simultaneously inspired my work that is based on layers of meanings, sensations and references.

Back in Merida, I realized, I was in the wrong city. I moved to Cancun, Mexico where I worked as a set designer for a gallery that held exhibits, there I also organized group shows. Soon again, the city seemed too small and I moved to Miami Beach.

After a year I got accepted at the Art Center South Florida as a resident artist. I represented Mexico in international art events like the “First International Encounter of Latin-American Artists” in the “Mediceo Museum” of Seravezza, Italy in 2002. That particular event gave me the opportunity to exhibit next to internationally known artists as Edouard Duval Carrie (Haiti) and Jose Bedia (Cuba).

The Mexican pop flavor of my production helped me to receive a grant from the Florida International University to have a solo show in Wynwood, Art District Miami in 2003. The effect of symbolic content in figuration, had made my work selected to illustrate various publications like music festivals catalogs in Brazil, an HIV awareness campaigns in South Africa and the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival in 2002.

I was invited by the “Mexican Cultural Institute” and by FIU to create installations for “The Day of the Dead” followed by lectures in the Low Art Museum and Miami Dade College. I have had group shows and solo shows in numerous galleries in US, Italy and Mexico and my work is included in different collections around the world.
