“Graphic work is my passion; it is the window that lets you see what you are and what you’re not. It’s a reflection of what you see, hear and feel.”
I studied Graphic Design in Mexico City. Simultaneously, I studied painting with Isaury Paulet and subsequently I studied engraving under Enrique Luft.
I’ve created logo identity for craft beers, cafés and restaurants, as well as rock bands and motorcycle clubs. Recently I created a series of hand-painted watches for Self Edge, a clothing store. Another activity I enjoy very much is teaching; I’ve taught from the primary to the university levels.
In the city of Pátzcuaro I was part of the Achokez Art Collective, where we organized and created the 1st Engravers Gathering and the state-level engraving contest “Gráfica Viva I”.
In San José del Cabo I received honorable mention in the First International Arts Festival in recognition of my work.
For the past two years I’ve been commissioned to create the engravings that were awarded to the winners of the 2017 and 2018 “Los Cabos Open of Surf”.
