What was the first thing that made you think about becoming an artist?

For more than 25 years I started with the dream of becoming a visual artist. At first, my work was abstract and my main objective was focused on interior design.

What type of artist do you ultimately see yourself?

I try to be an artist who is not afraid to try new things. I try to be original.

What do you hope to communicate to the viewer through your work?

That beauty is superficial, that's why I call my collection Niñas Bonitas.

Can you explain the process of creating your work?

I am currently painting portraits of women in Pop Modern Expressionism. I study the person I am going to paint a bit, I ask them what they like to do, what motivates them, their dreams, and based on that, in addition to a portrait that I ask of them, I begin to paint them.

What is your favorite part of the creative process?

When I sit in front of my work table, having paint, brushes, paper, everything ready to go, I really like the smell of paint.

Can you give us an idea of current projects and inspiration, or what we can expect from you in the near future?

Currently, I am doing the project called “niñas bonitas” where I am painting women, breaking the taboos of beauty as we know them, showing the inner beauty, intelligence, heart, passion of women. I am going to put out a book where I will publish all the beautiful women that I am painted. I will also participate in the Tokyo art fair and the art collective at the Bellini museum in Florence, Italy.
