Birthday: October 13th 1970

I have always been interested in arts in general, but it was since I started to look for my own identity that I decided to start my career in the roots of our Mexico. And this is why my research process is oriented in Popular Mexican Art and imprinted it  in Great Works of Popular Art, which was been a constant satisfaction to be knows by my our style that is focused on the rescue of original techniques of popular art that started in the pre-Columbian era and travel all the way to the conquest, the independence, and the revolution; rescuing images that portrayed the traditions that still remain in our country thanks to artisans and historians that show us the creations of this beautiful land.
