Artist Statement:
Introduction.
The main features that best

related to the unconscious
images of death and eroticism.
Both present as methaphors of
life and death, and a clearly
intended physical resolution
of the symbolos behind the
myth of "Eros & Thanatos".
"Our existence is embedded in
an endless circle of life and
death. We are forced into the
conflict, surrounded by
metaphors of beginnings and
endings".
"Today, we find the real truth
of our existence in recycling
and composting: giving to the
universe that which has been
given to us in life, with the
payment of our own death, so
life can emerge again."
Life-death-life. (Jorge Llaca,
winter 2001)
Professional career.
The first period starts back
in early 70's, as a fine arts
student. Times in which I was
involved working in private
workshops and art centres,
with an extense list of
teachers and mentors. Some of
which had a long course
experience and recognition
within the national art
circles in Mexico, as it is
the case of Teresa Citto a
well known Italian painter.
Also as part of this learning
period, I attended private
Universities such as the
University of the Claustro de
