In order to leave a mark on a corner, it was possible to organise a social
project where family and friends contributed to paint a gift shop in a
marginal area of the city of Puebla. In this case, the achieved product relied
on the action taken by the participants, who were members of the same
community, even myself.

Artist Statement

The mural projects developed with COARCO: These Murals depict a

traditional Mexican weaving, which is an analogy of how individual

actions inside a community influence one another. The colours are

selected by contrast and equivalence and are embedded in

symmetrical shapes, which create a kaleidoscopic background for

the everyday activities of educational and community centres. The

purpose of my work is to involve everyday activities and individuals

into the art world to establish a conversation with the viewer, inviting

them to acknowledge their belonging to a realm that appears

completely detached from reality but that is not. Striving to

emphasise and endorse the importance of inspiration, critical

thinking, and visual deciphering in every aspect of our life.
