What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?<\/strong>
In addition to continuing my exploration of whales across all possible materials and techniques, in recent weeks I\u2019ve been working on two fronts simultaneously: my photographic projec \u201cCadenas que liberan\u201d<\/em> and a series of illustrations addressing themes such as workplace harassment, the comfort zone, and imposter syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?<\/strong>
This process has been a constant learning experience, both technically and conceptually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In illustration, I discovered how challenging \u2014and rewarding\u2014 it is to create images with a narrative sequence, making each piece dialogue with the next so that together they tell a story. I also ventured into experimenting with new materials and stepped slightly outside the comfort of digital, which opened up new creative possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In photography, I learned to let go of control. By taking shots from my bike, using only my phone camera, I had to accept that the images would be more spontaneous and experimental, less calculated. (I also learned that it\u2019s not very safe to do it on any bike other than my own.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And regarding the whales, this year I dared to work with ceramics, which has been both a challenge and a great source of satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yes. Two books in particular accompanied me through this process:<\/strong>
Freedom, city, resilience.
Confinement, abuse, fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?<\/strong>
S\u00ed. Dos libros en particular me acompa\u00f1aron mucho en este proceso: El s\u00edndrome de la impostora<\/a><\/strong> and C\u00f3mo hablar balleno<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both inspired me and, in a way, conversed with the pieces I was creating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?<\/strong>
Facing \u00darsula, my inner impostor, every day.
That voice that insists nothing I do has value, that everything has already been done, that someone else could do it better. Learning to coexist with her \u2014and not let her take control\u2014 has been one of my greatest challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?<\/strong>
Caf\u00e9 de Ra\u00edz.<\/a><\/strong> Don\u2019t miss their rice tamales or the Zacahuil\u2014they\u2019re a delight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?<\/strong>
Title: The Universe has always known how to pull me out of where I shouldn\u2019t be.<\/em>
Soundtrack: The Smiths <\/a><\/strong>and Depeche Mode<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recomi\u00e9ndanos alg\u00fan artista que sigas y te inspire. \u00bfQu\u00e9 es lo que m\u00e1s te gusta de su trabajo?<\/strong>
Many people inspire me, even strangers whose actions awaken something within me. But if I had to name a few, two artists have marked my path over the past few years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enrique Abe<\/a><\/strong>: photographer, illustrator, designer, and maker. I deeply admire his creative process and ability to materialize ideas. Starting from a paper sketch, he takes it to a 3D render, then to 3D printing, creating molds and counter-molds in silicone, producing pieces in concrete or ceramics, designing packaging, and finally doing the photoshoot. His way of integrating disciplines and completing each project in a holistic way fascinates me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diana Zela<\/a><\/strong>: Mexican illustrator and friend. Beyond her incredible talent for creating illustrations and illustrated books, I admire her generosity and collaborative spirit. Diana is always willing to share her knowledge, without envy or reserve. She is creative, hardworking, organized, and deeply professional. Her attitude inspires me as much as her work.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
