Artist Statement
"My work is about recreating stories in artificial places. I use plastic objects in my images to create unexpected relationships between the object and its surroundings. I distort objects to create spaces, textures. My work unfolds from the notion of childhood, related to memory and the idealization of remembrances.
"My father had a plastic factory that made strawberries baskets, kitchen plastic bags and clear vegetable bags I grew up going to that factory on the weekends in Culiacan, Mexico. I grew up seeing and playing with the drippings of plastic and the mix of colors of the melting residues. When I started producing art I felt immediately a fascination with plastic like the missing piece of that lost childhood that will reconnect me with that time. I often explore and work on childhood stories and try to tell them with an adult meaning or interpretation.
"My recent sculptural work is a new exploration on my art that I began developing related to human relationships and couples relationships after going trough divorce. Taking childhood toys and transforming them on an adult context, with words and demands that only an adult could understand what they mean and what it means in their own relationships sometimes leaving loves destiny to chance."
