As an artist whose background is deeply rooted in the multifaceted history of Latin America, I feel compelled to preserve its abundant cultural legacy through artistic commitment and discipline. The fundaments of life in this part of the world are replete with contrasts, mythologies and re-adaptation from a multiplicity of componets, creating a tapestry of great intensity and character. As an artist you are baptized since the very beginning by its binding legacy of millennia, history is projected from its very core and the artists are the receptacles of all this influence and the spiritual guides in the transition to a modernity that seems to be both incompatible and misadjusted to its fragile realities.

The artistic consequences of all this convolution results in a vision that is intense as it is refined, an amalgam of exuberant proportions, a hybrid vision that is considerate of all its minutia. Latin Ameria has been the experimental board for a continuous wave of trasmigrations and exchange, a sort of great collage of the world where universal understanding have long paraded its virtues and tribulations.

As a new Canadian growing up in an increasingly multicultural scene, the possibilities of readapting to the plight and visions of the entire world has proved me an urgency to comprehend and internalize all these variations to my sense of “Meztisaje” in order to better meet the processes of contemporary transition.

As globalization and neo-colonialism occur alongside market structures that so adversely affect much of the third world, art has become for me the perfect method of voicing my most important concerns as a way of confronting and continuously analyzing my position as a citizen of the times.

Following the continuous tradition of western art as well as that of my Latin American predecessors I am keeping vigil as an artist and trying to record with keen eyes the psyche and the soul of this very important times through the prototypical measure of all reality, humankind, itself.

I, like Orozco, Goya or Kollewitz believe in the need to directly portray that which is inhuman and immoral in society as well as that which is compassionate and true in order to wake in all of us a sense or urgency at attending humanities' most pressing needs in a times when greed and rapacious hatred becomes ever more predominant.
