My work is a reflection on the cultural, political, and economic forces that define the contours of my experience as a Mexican immigrant in the United States.
The paintings bring together elements of pre- and early colonial Mexican codices, with references to contemporary American culture and politics.
This interpretive process is guided by the continual reflection on my personal experience as a Mexican immigrant. It is also characterized by the desire to contextualize my position within the broader history and politics of Latin immigration to the United States.
