Artist’s Statement
“A fundamental part of my work has been inspired by some concepts of the Mayan and Nahuatl philosophy as sources of motivation. The constant use of linguístic elements in my work is comparitive with my experience living in different countries. In the last years, I have been motivated to investigate my cultural roots and the ones from other places.
I have found multiple relations in the philosophies that the natives of the world maintain with the nature. Thus, I have extended my vision and reinforced my initial motivations, since these philosophies have diverse points of convergence. For that reason, it´s important for me to remember that the relation man-nature-spirit is part of ancestral philosophies”.
