Signs of life *SOL20251012
Mixed Media / Canvas
200 X 140 cm (78 X 55 inches)
2025

I am sharing with you the second painting of my recent project "The Endless River," part of the PECDA "Established Artists Grant of Michoacán" 

I am also taking this opportunity to share the status of my dissemination and the delivery of the PICS item, which still remains unanswered. I am concerned about the timeline, and given the situation, I am using this chance to share these concerns.

Under the title "signs of life #SOL20251012," this new research piece deals with a selection of flora and fauna from the Lake Pátzcuaro region. The painting measures 200 X 140 cm (78 X 55 inches) and is a mixed media on canvas.


Thanks to the kind collaboration of Biologist Mtra. Daniel Díaz Rodríguez, head of the Department of Environmental Management for the State of Michoacán (SECMA), I was able to access valuable information on these subjects.






I have ultimately decided to integrate the species "Ambystoma Dumerilii," better known as the Achoque or Pátzcuaro Axolotl. Regarding the flora, I had already been working on an abstraction of "Sagittaria Graminea," better known as Arrowhead. I am sharing images of the first drafts of the abstraction of this plant, which was finally integrated into the work in the form of a cartography, seemingly aquatic, which could be interpreted as representations of these regional axolotls.

VIDEO of the PROCESS:



I am also taking this opportunity to document my interactions with the Michoacán/Federal Ministry of Culture and the PECDA offices:

1. The agreement requires me to manage a dissemination project, for which I have stated will consist of an exhibition at a cultural center in Morelia, Michoacán.
My choice has been the Clavijero Cultural Center in Morelia.

I began formalizing my request for a gallery space at this venue on:
**September 1, 2025**, via email to dirprodart@gmail.com of the same CCC.
Since then, I have **NOT** received a response and I wonder what will happen...
It is important to have a date, with a significant amount of lead time, to arrange transportation logistics and secure potential sponsorships for its development.





2. Regarding the processing of the PECDA / PICS agreement:
At the Antiguo Colegio Jesuita Cultural Center, specifically Lic. Erandi de Jesús Díaz Barriga, accepted the donation of a sculptural piece via the official document: SC/DPADC/CCACJ/231/2025.

Following the instructions of Lic. Daniel Mendoza, the person in charge of monitoring the fulfillment and verification of the Federal PICS activity; I initiated the formal request for the verification process for the artwork donation; by requesting the application and delivery document from Lic. Erandi de Jesús Díaz Barriga via email on:
**October 3, 2025**.
To date, I have **NOT** received a response.




In this manner, I conclude this second report for tracking purposes.

Thank you for your time :).

M20241217 Mixed media Canvas 200 X 140 centimeters (78 X 55 Inches) 2024 An ode to the Art Academy The “Mar I.A. ” collection is part of the  Punk-Baroque   series. This collection presents the same face from a reimagined portrait, a subject that might initially seem repetitive.  However, through the repeated recreation of this image, the artist seeks not only to revisit a moment in time but also to relive the experiences of their years as a student in Europe. These recreations explore how those formative experiences have blended with their native culture, forging a new identity in the present. This series employs simple materials, such as colored pencils and graphite on raw canvas, prepared with a single sealing layer, leaving behind fingerprints and other marks that reflect the process. In 1998, René Serrano captured a portrait of his friend Marie as part of his analog photography laboratory course. This portrait now serves as the foundation for a new composition, inte...

About my Notebooks

 The image above is from the year 2011 and captures the moment when I destroyed my notebooks containing notes and projects up until that year. I felt it was a point in my life when I needed to elevate my artistic processes and improve the way I developed my notes in my notebooks. Now, I am truly happy with the process and organization I maintain in my notebooks, and I have decided to digitize them to create a backup. I’m sharing one of them with you. Notebook 04.

The Tree of Life is a symbol found across various religions and cultures, including Christianity, Judaism, Celtic traditions, and Turkish mythology.

It can also represent the primal energies of creation and the cycles of life. The Tree of Life often features a tree trunk with branches that spread out and then return to the trunk. The trunk may symbolize the union between life and death, while the branches can represent the paths we take in life, all leading back to the trunk. Branc...
