Artist Statement:
How images are processed
has been a constant factor
influencing my work. An image
loses its objectivity the
moment we process it, either
in our mind, the studio or the
darkroom. By closely looking
at single details I try to
find the diversity of an
image, its multiple meanings.
Growing up in Mexico City
trained my aesthetic sense to
the powers of colour and
texture. It was these
elements I concentrated on
when I studied photography at
the University of California
in San Diego. As I made the
transition from photographer
to painter, light became an
integral component of my work.
I use whatever is
immediately at hand in order
to express what I am
processing internally, the
layering of meaning. I have
produced three dimensional
pieces with found objects,
natural and man-made materials
and I have drawn and painted
in a variety of media, styles
and sizes. The current series
of portraits delves into
multiculturalism and
diversity. These portraits
represent the cultures found
in the city in which I live.
The portraits are meant to
represent generic people,
someone we have all known, met
or seen somewhere.
I captured the warm
sensuality of light during my
years living...
