Hembra

What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
Hembra is a tribute to Mother Earth and to feminine power as agents of creation, memory, and transformation. It is composed of portraits, objects, and scenes that engage with the fluidity, resilience, and cycles of the feminine.

The exhibition was first presented in November 2024 in Galería Gotchikoain Monterrey. Today, part of the exhibition arrives to Anent Galleryin Mexico City, which allows me to revisit it from another context, flowing and finding new ways of manifesting itself and opening up different readings.

What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
I learned to let go and flow in a different way. I also learned to remember that each space and each moment gives it a different meaning, that there isn't just one way to see things.

What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
Flow, cycles, expectations, transformation, letting go. 

Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
Multiple conversations with women about how we navigate life cycles, about growing, accepting, and supporting ourselves through those processes. These weren't formal talks, but casual chats, with distractions and moments from life that also filter into the work.

What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?
Time. Sometimes daily life, vacations, or routines pull me away from practicing. My process is very spontaneous, but it also needs space and dedication to take shape. Finding that balance has been the most challenging part.

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?
I don't usually have just one favorite, but here are a few in Monterrey:
Cara de Vaca – organic roast chicken
Yoko – Hamachi handroll
Tacos Domingo – mango mostachón
El Bambis – Chai Latte

If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?
Cycles, and the soundtrack would be by Blood Orange.

Recommend us an artist you follow who inspires you, and tell us what you like most about their work or their way of working.
There are many artists who inspire me, including many close female friends and very inspiring colleagues, but today I'll talk about Jocelyn Lee. Her work strikes me as very special because it connects portraiture with nature in an intimate and organic way. Between calm, vulnerability, and strength, she creates images that feel profoundly human. A few years ago, we included her in P Magazine, and since then I have maintained a very close affinity with his way of looking at humanity through the natural environment.
