Artist Statement:
By embellishing pre -Columbian
imagery with contemporary and
personal elements, I strive to
embody the intersection of
Mexico’s history, in all its
depth and beauty, with the
lived contexts of my era. I
ground my work in Mayan
iconography, using richly
textured backgrounds and a
chromatically satisfying
palette of complimentary
colors to draw viewers into
the world of the painting.
The life of each painting,
however, is concentrated in
the figure’s eyes, as if the
spirit of the heritage that
inhabits me looks back from
the world behind the canvas...
