Story Behind the art:
Latest Update
"I am a graduate of the Cultural Institute Caba?as de Guadalajara, Jalisco. I always felt an incredible passion for oil painting and its magical secrets. Not only from oils, but from art in general. I believe art reveals the deepest part of a human being, and reflects their ability to dream and create.
"I believe in self-expression as a way of being original and innovative; information goes hand in hand with each artistic expression. If you do not fill your mind with knowledge, it is difficult to know how to express yourself in a pleasant and free way.
"My greatest inspiration is my daughters; they are the creators of these magical dreams behind color. Art is merely an emotional activity. Without being in contact with them, inspiration goes away; my daughters are the inspiration that makes me constantly creative.
"Thanks to technology, I set out to create a more flexible way for more people to have that direct contact with my dreams, using the giclee technique. This beautiful technique allows me to deliver an artwork with incredible quality to my clients, with perfect details where even the strokes are seen with naturalness and light.
"Giclee has given me a modern and incredible way to show my work with enormous respect for human emotions. Without them we are nothing. Every thing we do leaves a trace of emotion and delivery that is impossible to erase, so it is important to reflect each one of these colorful dreams."
Original Artisan Story
I consider myself a tranquil woman, creative and with a passion for art. I majored in fine arts and industrial design, and am working on a master's degree in education and expression. I set up a small studio where I work and also offer classes in painting.
To master this art, I had to study, practice, observe and discover my own creative voice. I love Mexican handicrafts and also our fine art.
My own paintings are surrealistic and, naturally, inspired by symbols, by my emotions and by my desires. I work in oils and acrylics, and my daughters are my models. They have always been my source of motivation in life. Their images are present in my paintings but I suspect that these images are a representation of myself by way of them.
I've always liked to work in a very personal way. I feel that this helps me find a better form of inspiration. The ideas in my canvases arise from inside me, thus I don't depend on other factors or resources. I love the fact that that painting results in works of art that are unique, with a style of their own. Yet the greatest challenge is to be innovating all the time with ideas.
