About me

I was born in Mexico, now I live and work in New Zealand's South Island.

In my latest solo-exhibition human forms divide and multiply into a kaleidoscope of magenta tones. Feminine archetypes explore the magical and imaginary, attempting to enjoy the universal beauty of qualities like simplicity, pattern, and rhythm.

10 exhibitions to look out for in May!
Surprisingly cool to find out "Altar" is amongst the list of recommended exhibitions for the region! 😊

Warren Feeney’s list of recommended exhibitions include a tangible encounter with the warm light and land of Aotearoa, and traditions of still-life painting that assume an unanticipated visibility and presence. Text taken from #linktolookbelow

Last week's installation in process. Such a great team of people and a great learning experience! Thanks #ashburtonartgallery Exhibition is now open until the 7th June. 👍🎨👏

Despite primarily working with paint, my works can often include textile elements, such as embroidery stitched into canvas. This is a work in progress of tapestry piece that will be on display at my upcoming exhibition @ashburtonartgallery - if you are in the area, come in to see the finished piece, exhibition runs from 22nd April - 7th June. Cheers. 😊

I am delighted to share with you the information for my new solo exhibition titled "ALTAR, Beautifying Understanding"

🎉 Will be on display at the Ashburton Gallery and Museum, 327 West St, Ashburton from the 22 April until 7th June 2024.

It consists of twelve works, mainly acrylic on canvas with cotton thread embroidery and a wool tapestry work.

"In this new suite I explore the magical and imaginary on feminine archetypes. Reconstructed silhouettes produce new imagery, considering the duality of the divine and erotic using a palette of six magenta tones"

This are all original works completed this year. (last one, a triptych signed and packed yesterday before pick up today!)
Make sure you visit if you are in the area! 😊🎉
