Born in Monterrey, NL. México
Lives and works in Monterrey

Neo-Surrealist artist. More than 50 exhibitions in Mexico, USA, Canada, France, Holland, Denmark and Japan. His paintings belong to private and corporate collections around the world.
Her work has been selected to appear in prestigious art books of Imaginary Realism: Dreamscapes 2009, Amsterdam; Imaginaire III and Imaginaire IV, Copenhagen
The magical world that the brushstrokes capture in the linen are a clear reflection of the mythological alchemical thought integrated in a surrealism that leaves a fleeting trace of the subconscious of the artist, who perhaps navigates through the Celtic period. Her work is finely figurative and is always accompanied by very pleasant color combinations.
