Signs of life *SOL20251206 (King Achoque) Mixed Media / Canvas 200 X 120 centimeters (79 X 47 Inches) 2025 Finally, the fourth and final Painting  of "The Endless River," part of the PECDA "Established Artists Grant of Michoacán"  "Signs of Life"  (King Achoque)  explores the relationship between geometric forms and organic elements to depict fragments of an imagined society. Within this envisioned aquatic environment, an apparent axolotl form emerges as a symbol of regeneration and communal vitality. A red form suggests a Canoe. Executed in acrylic and gold leaf on canvas, the piece presents a unique synthesis of Abstract Expressionism and Geometric abstraction.As I researched more and more about the Michoacán axolotl, an unplanned interest in this little creature was born. I have been navigating the lake of the area (as much as possible) but have not been able to encounter it personally. One could try to "hasten" this meeting, but that would al...

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.
