As an artist, I know I’m expected to have a statement to define both my work and myself, but I’ve always struggled with them. It’s not that I don’t know how to write one; I’ve taken courses, learned the structure, and written many. The difficulty lies deeper: most statements I’ve written have never felt entirely true.
When they speak about my work, they don’t feel like they’re about me, and when they speak about me, they don’t seem to connect with the work. I’ve come to realize that this disconnect is a reflection of my belief that art should stand on its own, without the need for justification through polished language.
I understand the role of artist statements in navigating the art world; they can clarify intent, offer context, and help people engage. But I also believe they can become barriers filled with theatrical terminology and can also disconnect from the original piece or artist while feeling performative. I want my work to remain accessible and sincere, not wrapped in language that feels disconnected from the process of making.
I believe in a non-patronizing art practice, one where the act of creation is enough, and where meaning can be found (or not) by the viewer without being prescribed. If I enjoy making the work, and if others can experience it on their own terms, then I consider that a success.
I realize this reflection is a paradox in which trying to avoid writing a statement ends up becoming one, but art is full of contradictions, and if viewers enjoy ,or hate, their time in front of one of my pieces, then I’ve succeeded.

I was born in Mexico City in 2001, where I grew up and developed my interest in art. I formally began my professional career after graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2024, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in painting and human figure drawing.

Since then, I’ve had the honor of presenting my work in exhibitions across different continents, including shows in the United States, Mexico, and Europe. These exhibitions, focused on emerging artists from diverse backgrounds and styles, have provided a space to explore and share my artistic voice and vision.

I later pursued a postgraduate degree in painting and fresco restoration at the Lorenzo de Medici Institute in Florence, Italy, an experience that expanded both my technical and creative knowledge. This focus allowed me to discover methods that complement my artistic practice, encouraging experimentation with new materials and broadening my perspective as an artist.
