Artist Statement

My work is not merely an outlet for personal catharsis but a vibrant testament to the resilience and diversity of the human spirit. As a queer Latinx multidisciplinary artist, my thematic questioning of identity and emotion is deeply intertwined with my lived experiences. Growing up in a Mexican Catholic home, confusion, trauma, and alienation were part of my daily presence; I have learned to channel these feelings into my art, transforming them into a powerful means of exploration and expression. 

In my artistic practice, I delve into the intricate dance between our emotional and mental selves, challenging the notion of their interchangeability. Through photography, painting, and glass, I invite viewers into a meticulously constructed world where "real life" blends with imaginative realms, allowing me to manipulate light, perspective, and form in a way that questions and critiques our understanding of reality and identity.

I aim to create art as a beacon for those who have felt unseen, silenced, or marginalized while contributing to a broader culture of empowerment and inclusivity. In pursuit of this vision, I continue to push the boundaries of my creative practice, exploring new mediums and experimenting with innovative storytelling approaches. 

My work celebrates the unique stories we hold within and calls us to embrace our differences. It is both a mirror and a window—a reflection of our own battles and a glimpse into the experiences of others, offering moments of empathy, recognition, and a sense of solace. It reminds us of the extraordinary potential that lies in authentic self-expression.
