Plastic artist based in Mexico City. His work covers multiple disciplines, such as digital graphics, painting, drawing and sculpture, but he is especially dedicated to exploring drawing, experimenting with different materials, supports, processes and aesthetic and formal solutions. His work shows a clear obsession to structure the anatomy of animals and people as if it were a functional and harmonious architectural space. His paintings are a mental logbook, usually based on portraits inspired by personal, social situations, the study of anatomy, as well as the identity, borders, roots and belonging of people with spaces, structuring the strokes as if they were gears that build a larger machinery, building true visual maps with the image of the bodies.
