I am a Mexican painter of portraits, self-portraits and works drawn from the nature and artifacts of Mexico. I use a naive folk art style to question identity, postcolonialism, gender, class and race in Mexican society.

I turn personal experience into art that asks how culture, gender and race are built — my own face is the instrument.
Post-revolutionary Mexico, the Mexicayotl movement that sought a Mexican identity, and an art world that called me a surrealist or a magical realist.
The shape of this portfolio — taller means stronger evidence in that mode.
