I was born in Mexico City, in the era of hippies, I belong to a family of dysfunctional late twentieth century. The first contact I had with the art, the portrait was dare street, I saw them draw people from the underworld with great skill, many of them were alcoholics who used the money they earned to continue drinking. At thirteen years as a teenager that offended, I stole a book on Van Gogh in a mall, for me it was like a satori a teenager. After I contacted Michelangelo excited I decided to make art a vocation to the priesthood more like a profession trivial. The art not only saved me from becoming a criminal, but shifted my existence. Sadly, throughout my life, I fall into disuse the practice the profession of the arts. None of my teachers could draw.
Contrary to mainstream thinking, my desire is not to innovate, break, or contribute anything, at most I aspire to is to become a good traditional artist in the best sense of the word, that is, someone who recognizes its ancestors, and it will also be measured with high standards of rules and precepts. I love order and tradition of classical art. For me it is so conservative Picasso or Diego Rivera, as can be innovative El Greco and Michelangelo, all of them belong to the realm of timeless, they were all masters of the form.
In art not pursue freedom as understood in these times, for my freedom is the domain of trade, has more to do with something that is conquered as a result of hard effort, the lack of rules and limits.
One day I realized that the type of art that interested me and was not taught in schools, if he aspired to owning a traditional knowledge should take the long road to self, to paraphrase Rodin: "I clearly saw, fifteen years what to expect: a life of suffering and relentless patience. "
