I was born one winter evening, a 9 March 1959 in my parents' room. My mother was assisted by UNMed altruistic vocation: a Dr. Henry, assisted by the midwife Dona Tona. As my brother always thought anegdotas reached in the case of the doctor.

Although there was no family history of a drawer or similar house, one of the first things I did when I do, after four years of age, was drawn with a pencil. I drew all that was within my reach and that seemed appealing. And logically, after six years, while in elementary school, asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up my answer was immediate: a painter.

Later I first had a case of standard colors with gouache drawings acquired my color, a true copy of the Mexican crafts abounded at home. Over time I could experiment with other techniques, for work, APPLY techniques without the knowledge of them, but that allowed me to play more freely without the academic load that sometimes limits us, something that to date I still do: put technology in the service of my work and not vice versa.

I've always said that my work has three bases: shape, color and texture, which feed on my game, my dreams, the environment I lived as a child. Basic shapes in a single stroke to give a precise idea of ​​what they represent, as any drawing made by a child. Colors taken from the rich array of Mexican crafts and their very different cultures of our indigenous peoples. Textures printed on the walls of all materials turned into ephemeral works unique artisans that give them identity as ethnicity and as a people.

most related to my \ "artistic training \" is when I interact with graphic design for 17 years, until today, when I start to use different techniques to illustrate the main medical journals. Perhaps this approach to design in high school was because I brought the workshop Printing and Binding and enthusiasm I started with the inks, the bodies of zinc and lead in the types and composition.

Although my academic training whatsoever in the arts, I studied chemical engineering industry, I always felt drawn to literature, painting, wood carving, music, among others. Before I got the title of Technician in Construction, too related to architecture and during that time was necessary to master other disciplines such as Model-Making and Technical Drawing. Apply everything learned in all my work and every experience of my life is reflected in my work.

In the course of my artistic life I have worked without the idea of ​​exposing only show what moves me, especially that which gives pleasure to the eye, which fills our senses through it and touches us heartstrings. Each stroke, color picelada and seeks to show what I was and I am to others. Do not look beyond even trade with my work, is more intimate and I know that only some are able to capture.

My work is not pretentious. Try to find what I could do as a child: to see and do things like this, to recover his speech and his simplicity.

I hope you like it,
