Visual arts
“The relationship between what we see and what we know is never clear. Every evening we see the sun setting. We know that the Earth is moving away from it. However, knowledge, explanation, never quite fit with vision.”
-John Berger

Times like these
The hardest part has been finding the perfect moment to create. I love doing it, but I often wonder why I can’t be creating all the time. Sometimes I have so many ideas in my head that they turn into noise, making it hard to bring them to life.
-
The leap
For me, creating is an act of love—toward oneself, above all. And I feel a certain responsibility to stay in a state that allows me to do it with minimal interference, while staying connected to play and pleasure.
-
A better ending
I realized that I still have a lot to learn, that my vision —or my “eye”— is constantly changing, and that I can always improve it, destroy it, or do whatever I want with it, because I believe that’s what art is about.

Nothing like living
Insecurity: that feeling of not being good enough or of overconsuming what you create. On platforms like TikTok or YouTube, there are so many creative people, and it's inevitable to compare yourself; sometimes that's discouraging.

Violentas mariposas
I think about identity and roots. About the urgency of telling stories from who we are. I’m drawn to cinema with a Mexican soul, with mystique, with history; cinema that doesn’t copy foreign languages, but instead discovers its own territory.

Everyday echoes
With my analog camera, I try to capture fragments of life that often go unnoticed: a light falling on a bench, people passing by, and silences hidden in the streets. It's a visual diary that becomes a form of resistance against oblivion.

Living matter
Even if you study the technique and strive for control, film always holds a mystery. The image creates itself, at its own pace, in its own time. And no matter how much you plan, you won't truly know what you've captured until you develop it.

Altitude sickness
I've rarely approached photography with a specific goal in mind; it's been something that has accompanied me through moves, relationships, travels, walks, and periods of grief. A way to keep a record. A medium through which I've learned to embrace chance, play, and error.
-
Time is perfect
I’ve learned to be grateful and to always be prepared for every opportunity, to give more than what’s expected, and to stay true to my vision and principles. I’ve also unlearned the habit of doubting the process. Trusting it has been essential.
-
Presence / absence
Editing is not an afterthought, but a central part of the process. It is a delicate task that defines the final meaning of the images and demands as much attention as taking the photograph.
-
Everyday contemplation
We live in a world overflowing with digital files that we never see again, files that accumulate deep within algorithms or on our devices. I've learned to take photos with intention and contemplation, not just to create more content.
-
Longing
I learn a lot from watching and rewatching my work, from re-editing material. Today, "old material" can be just a few months old; it's crazy, everything moves too fast. It's important to stop and look at what was done before, to have the chance to appreciate it and see how it can or can't evolve with a new edition.
