Divers searching for stars

Like a diver searching for stars in the ocean, the new year pushes us to reach out and connect, look for new opportunities and adventures. 

These illustrations made in found objects are for a one-day art exhibit at Ictus Gallery, January 5th, 2013. Come enjoy the new year with us!   

BEST WISHES FOR 2013

...

Amigas // Girlfriends

 

From cigar boxes, to books, doors and drawers I made some illustrations for a Women's Art Exhibit with Alexandra Bloom, Marsha Shaw and Gina M. Contreras.

I used the 'surrealist method', just started painting random shapes to start building up whatever creatures came into my mind.

 

Come visit the exhibit!

Ramones: Gabba Gabba Hey

Susanita's Little Gallery Presents:

Ramones: Gabba Gabba Hey

One of my pieces is part of the fifth Susanita's Little Gallery show, a tribute to the Ramones.

Susanita's Little Gallery and all the artists in the show make a collaboration with Acción Alegra, an ONG devoted specially to offer education and sanity to children in need from Togo, donating the 20% of the sales from the exhibition.

Come visit the gallery and let me know what do you think of the art?

I made a Monotype with Acrylics, a psychedelic experimental look for the song You are gonna kill that girl

 

THANX FOR VISITING!

Tlalocan

Since ancient times, many mesoamerican and south american cultures celebrated on a specific day the memory of family members who passed away and left this world. This was mainly to keep them alive in their minds.
 
The Aztecs had a special conception of the after life, they had different layers of Upper and Lower worlds were, depending on the way a person dies, they will remain for eternity.

If a person were to die drown or struck by lightning you would go to the Tlalocan, the place of the Lord of the Rain: Tlaloc.


Calixto Robles invited a group of artists to participate on the 5th Annual Day of the Dead Exhibit at Puerto Alegre.

 ...

Come join us for a special celebration on Tuesday October 30th from 3pm til 5pm!

Exhibit: Running Plants

On June 28th  Ana Aranda and myself had a fundraiser exhibit in Berkeley Marine alongside One Heart-World Wide to help Tarahumara and Tibetan communities prevent birth deaths.

Our main focus was to use recycled materials such as drawers and cigar boxes.

We did Monotypes and linocuts as well!

We thank everyone for their support and we are looking forward to have this exhibit once more with new pieces.

Thanx for visiting!!!!

Upcoming exhibition: Running plants

A series of new paintings and prints by illustrator Ana Aranda and myself will be showcased in the fundraising event that will
take place in Berkeley Marina, alongside with the association One Heart World-Wide  http://oneheartworld-wide.org/

 One Heart World-Wide helps pregnant women in rural communities in Mexico and Nepal
to decrease unattended home births and prevent maternal and newborn deaths.

Currently they have been helping the Tarahumara community in México to cope with the serious hunger problems from the past months.

For this collaborative project Ana Aranda and I have been working on recycled/reused and found objects as well as experimenting with printmaking techniques.
