Inclusion of New Works in the Mexican museums Catalog: "The division bell" Mixed media / Paper. 61X46 cms "Amy and the Criminals"  Mixed/Canvas 107 X 81 cms  Acquired by Tax Administration Service in CDMX, MX Catalog:  0867_2021 Inclusion of New Works in the Federal Catalog A series of my recent works has recently been added to the Mexican's  federal catalog, a development that brings me immense satisfaction and, above all, I perceive it as a "magical honor." For me, this achievement acts as a sort of "time machine." The inclusion of these works in the national catalog not only gratifies me but also ensures traceability and easy access in the distant future. With advancements in search technologies, it's conceivable that a descendant, perhaps in the year 2935, could stumble upon my ideas and my unique representation of the present. This notion of art transcending time, allowing us to connect with the truths of people in other eras, l...

Punk Baroque *PBLTG0721 (The Three Graces) 250X150cms mix/canvas. 2021 SOLD I was raised in a religious tradition, then a fascination for the ancient religious iconography was so obvious. Since young, far from being interested in the Sunday liturgy mass, my gaze was focused on those painful madonnas of  European origins, the Mexican baroque, its exaggeration in the images, the omnipresent figure of the Virgin of  Guadalupe but also the rituals from the indigenous traditions. Later I lived and studied in central Europe for 5 years. I was so obsessed with the Medieval cathedrals, the art of “Fin de siècle,“ the icons and the ancient jewelry but also the  popular culture, the mix from the different cultures, races and different music styles in those cosmopolitan cities. At first glance it may seem opposite but if we see this mix of processes with the eyes of dialectic maybe we can find a  kind of a synthesis, maybe a mix between Pink Floyd,  J. S. Bach with Cumbias...

I've been on the quest for this guitar for 23 years. Finally, with the support of my friend Juan Pablo, I have succeeded in reuniting with my old Diabla guitar — the Ibanez RG570 LR 1993, a model referred to in its time as the samurai, crafted and sold exclusively in Japanese territory.   The Story of My Red Guitar One might argue that I have never truly visited the United States. My encounters have been limited to brief layovers or the unexpected diversion of my Paris-bound flight to Miami due to a turbine failure, leading to an unexpected stay in a hotel for a couple of days. In 1993, my family, not accustomed to venturing so far, experienced a sudden burst of adventurous spirit. My father conceived the idea of spending a weekend in McAllen, TX. The journey, a pleasant one, unfolded by road from Morelia, Mich., to McAllen, TX. At the tender age of 16, the vast expanse of such a significant place, adorned with countless guitars, felt like a visit to another world. ...
