Artist Statement
Drawing inspiration from both my Mexican heritage and the natural landscapes of Canada, my work is an exploration of how I feels in my art practice -alive and grateful- and how I wish to envision the world around me – in community, inclusion and balance. I believe art is a great unifier, with the power to connect people, transcend cultural barriers, and convey universal emotions. Through my colourful pieces, I celebrates the connection between artistic expression and joy.
