I am a Vancouver based visual artist, born in Guadalajara, Mexico. I started painting at a young age as I discovered that art was a way that I can express my feelings. My early pieces were oil paintings influenced by Post-Impressionist artists, then inspired by my favourite artists: Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso I then tried surrealism. Some of my latest art pieces are influenced by Frida Kahlo and are a reflection of my Mexican culture and heritage. It was then that I started experimenting with a series of Mexican folkloric paintings; each artwork relates a story through images of animals, people, and villages with vibrant colours in acrylics. My goal is to make pieces that liven up a room, create conversation, and display vivid colour. It is also my dream to grow as an artist and be able to find an audience..
