graphite, pastels, carbon on paper
My sole source of inspiration is nature. I enjoy the process of drawing in detail and in black and white. I use different mediums such as charcoal, pastels, crayons and graphite to achieve the maximum amounts of greys. I was born in Mexico City, a city with 20 million inhabitants. Being such a busy city, full of cars, buildings and houses, finding trees and nature was always a treat. I learned to really appreciate nature, its different forms and details. I want to capture it by drawing and bring it inside my house. I enjoy dedicating many hours work to each drawing in order to achieve great detail and harmony in the image. Finding stories and new ways to express them is always a challenge I look forward to.
