Projects: I am a fine artist who explores themes of mortality painting the human figure. My oil paintings on canvas and wood panels, are an extension of my Mexican heritage and Central America&rsquo s Day of the Dead festivities they appear skeletal and pale, yet somehow flushed and vibrant. Through bravado brushwork and assertive color palettes, I animate my subjects and keep them firmly rooted in the realm of the living, asking my viewers to hold life and death in the same hand. Through my work, I seek to remind viewers of the inherent ephemerality of life, and of its beauty as well &mdash that while death is always around the corner, life is something to be celebrated.
