"If it is absolutely necessary for art or theater to serve any purpose, it will be to teach people that there are activities that are useless and that it is essential that they exist."

Sun rises
Communicating very personal emotions: sometimes I feel they're too intimate, but I'm learning to integrate them into my work without fear. I've also learned not to force experimentation in commercial projects: clients come to me because of my style. I bring that exploration to my personal work.

Red, green, and blue
There are things or scenes that seem very normal in my daily life or context, but from the outside they can seem more interesting. We never know who might be watching out there and be intrigued by what's happening here.

Never-ending stories
I’m currently working on a series titled “Lovers” and a cycle of drawings called “Never-Ending Stories”. Both are ongoing projects that explore human relationships—between lovers and close friends who share their secrets with one another.
Places
“A city is like an animal. It has a nervous system, a head, shoulders, and feet. Every city is different from every other: no two are alike. And a city has collective emotions.”
-John Steinbeck

Lala Books

Ajeno Cafetería
We're greatly inspired by projects that manage to build identity from simplicity. Places where each element seems small on its own, but together they create something truly authentic. That coherence is something we constantly strive for.
Writing
Magazine
“I'm always so amazed when people talk about a definitive edition! How can an author not regret an awkward point or an adjective? It's absurd.”
-Jorge Luis Borges
Prints
“Personally, I can't live without my art. But I've never put that art above anything else.”
-Albert Camus
Books
"I'm not one of those who only thinks among books, inspired by books; however, I tend to think outdoors, walking, jumping, climbing, dancing, especially on lonely mountains or by the sea, where the paths themselves become thoughtful."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
