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 original title of the project was " Antes de que nos olviden " , but I decided to change it to a name that feels more universal and more closely connected to the Day of the Dead celebrations. The name of the project is  " The Endless River Project " 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. 

Alfredo Zalce 1996 by René Serrano Morelia, Michoacán México.  Alfredo Zalce was a renowned artist in the region of Michoacán, Mexico, and a resident of Morelia. I had the pleasure and honor of meeting him around 1994. During that period, I was finishing my high school studies in Economics/Administration and had temporarily set aside the idea of pursuing Arts as a career. I was in the process of taking exams to enter the university for a degree in Business Administration at the Technological Institute of Morelia. At the same time, I couldn't shake off the need to draw, to make music, but I needed guidance in the arts, and that's when he opened his doors to me. Master Alfredo Zalce, originally from Pátzcuaro, always welcomed me without charging a single cent. It seemed like he enjoyed my company, but I realized that he genuinely enjoyed the company of all the young people interested in art. "You are my guests," he would always say.
