Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
The "escudos de monjas" were small paintings being held by nuns in paintings in the New Spain, that is in Mexico before independence. Nuns were painted holding this little painting of their saint of devotion. So, this little shield would be their protection against all evils. So, here I am, as a young saint, a painter saint, in my youth (cause that striped sweater I knitted when expecting my first son in 1985), in the act of painting. As if I had become so famous that future artists that devoted their lives to art, would hold a shield of myself to protect themselves from deviating from the path. Looking at myself as a famous saint gives me strength, but it is also kind of disrespectful and funny, don't you think?

I am interested in experimenting with sincretic images that capture the whole range of religious experiences. I am inspired by the architecture and mural paintings of the Aztecs, Mayan, Zapotecan and other peoples from America and I like to intersect them with the aesthetics brought to America by the Spanish, like virgins, saints and holy beings. I intersect them with a third paradigm which is my personal journey into Indian philosophies and the idea of enlightenment. The result shows where I am now, believing that art is the way, and being an artist is my religion.
