"Amy and the Criminals"  Mixed/Canvas 107 X 81 cms  Acquired by Tax Administration Service in CDMX, MX Catalog:  0867_2021 "The division bell" Mixed media / Paper. 61X46 cms Inclusion of New Works in the Federal Catalog A series of my recent works has recently been added to the country'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, latitudes, and perhaps, in the remote future, even other wo

  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. In this research I s

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.

A momentary lapse of reason.  2015  SOLD.   Mixed media/Canvas 150X120cms  Journey to the Future For centuries, human beings have harbored the imagination and dreams of time travel. Various authors in literature and, notably, in cinema have woven tales of machines capable of transporting individuals to chosen dates in time. One such intriguing concept emerged from the Vatican, described by Father François Brune in his book "Le nouveau mystère du Vatican." According to him, a machine named "The Chronovisor" utilized electromagnetic radiation for time travel. Today, humanity has progressed beyond viewing comets as omens of disaster, understanding them as celestial bodies. Yet, we must not dismiss ancient civilizations that lacked knowledge of planets and gravitational movements. There were even ancient texts considered as "books written by the devil," predicting the future along the corridors of time. However, time travel is not confined to the realms of im

Ivonne Laura Poly Paty "The body always seems impressive and beautiful to me, but in its female version, it appears even more like a connection to my own duality. I think my masculine and feminine sides are more present.  I started taking life drawing classes when I entered the academy at the age of twenty. Since then, I have been fascinated by the human body, with a preference for the female form. Being an audiophile juror, I am the custodian of a discreet collection of vinyl music that is constantly growing.  At some point, I will make a post about how much audio and music have to do with my life and artistic work.  My appreciation for high-resolution audio comes from a very early age, perhaps from the age of 6 when I visited my aunt and uncle constantly on my mother's side.  My babysitters were the turntable, speakers, and a gigantic collection of rock music; The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin... Many more... It's not really music from
