Inspired by the aesthetics of Pre-Columbian art and the spirit of All Things Mexican, I observe the eternal in mythology and in our ideas about the afterlife; I find temporality and with it I make a metaphor of our reality. My work is a constant effort geared towards representing the human condition, in search for our origin and destiny, through topics related to society and the environment.

I follow an aesthetic approach based on a language that I call calligraphic privateness. This is a term emanating from the notion of depicting what is private and unique about a theme through archetypes that I find by means of first associations. Thus, I relate symbols as I represent a bipolar universe in my analysis on live and human nature. I thereby seek to convey thoughts aimed at generating changes on the viewer.

My work is dedicated to the memory of my mother Ana María García Valseca Laux, who introduced me to art from my early childhood.
