"Before we are forgotten" 2025 NEW stablished artists grant. Cultural Ministry of Michoacán Mexico.

-

Hello There !!!!

I must thank my country’s Ministry of Culture for awarding me the Established Artists Grant here in Michoacán. It’s a tremendous validation of my work as an artist—especially now,   


In the months ahead, I’ll be creating a series of paintings inspired by the flora of Lake Pátzcuaro / Uranden, the backdrop for Michoacán’s traditional Night of the Dead.


I’ve been captivated by this celebration since childhood—so much so that my wife and I married on November 2, marking the occasion by sailing across the lake that night amid a raging storm.


The name of the project is 
"Before we are forgotten"

More updates on the project coming soon.



Here i share with you some of my photos from the lake zone. I made a lot, this is a selection. 























Location: Morelia, Michoacán, México

Self- Portraits

" Self- Portrait at the Academy of Fine Arts"  # SP2026199801 Mixed media  W39 X H58 X Z27 Cm (W15 X H23 X Z11 In)  2026 While images of the self date to antiquity, the self-portrait emerged as a distinct and enduring genre in the mid-15th century. This period, fueled by the Renaissance ideals of individual identity and artistic mastery, saw creators like Albrecht Dürer systematically depicting themselves not merely as craftsmen, but as subjects of depth and introspection. From then on, the self-portrait became a vital medium for artistic exploration. It is a practice where the artist is both observer and observed, a complex dialogue conducted through brushstrokes, light, and composition. Masters across eras have turned the gaze inward: Rembrandt traced his own aging and soul across dozens of canvases; Frida Kahlo wove personal pain and cultural identity into iconic imagery; Vincent van Gogh used his own visage to master color and convey profound emotion. In the modern er...

The battle of evermore *TBOEM20250423 Mixed media / Canvas 200 X 140 centimeters (78 X 55 Inches) 2025 Like the world it seeks to depict, the art of the landscape has been utterly transformed through the centuries. Once a genre unacknowledged, it has journeyed to become the essential subject of some of the world's most enduring visions. This series traces that profound metamorphosis—not as a chronicle of style, but as an evolving dialogue between sight and insight, between the terra we inhabit and the terra we inscribe with meaning. Tropical observatory. *D20240801 Mixed media / Canvas 150 X 150 centimeters (59 X 59 Inches) 2024 The works presented here could be sites or fragments of an imagined society—utopian or rustic, perhaps deserted cities or bustling ones, depending on the viewer's own gaze.

Warriors Painting series

Image
Warrior *N20241125 Mixed media / Canvas Diameter: 109 cm (43 inches)  2024 The painting series “Warrior” draws its inspiration from a visit to the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, where a reproduction of a “Chimalli” —a traditional Nahua shield—can be found on display. In Native American cultures, the concept of a "warrior" or "warriors" extends far beyond physical combat. It encompasses a deep spiritual and communal role, often involving protection, service, and the preservation of culture and traditions. A warrior is not just someone who fights, but someone who embodies strength, courage, and a commitment to the well-being of their people. The title is also a nod to the personal challenges we face in daily life and our need for healing. This research is about a passage of time in a person’s life that is often shaped by challenges, interactions and encounters. The incorporation of the self-created artist calligraphy describes secret poems with heali...
