Artist Statement
Growing up in a traditional Mexican household I was raised on the idea that men were not emotional and any display of that was frowned upon. Due to those experiences I explore themes rooted in emotional taboos such as depression, regret, anger, separation, anxiety, and toxic masculinity. Using my own interactions as starting points for these conversations. Ultimately aiming to deconstruct such emotions through my work and bring resolution to issues often avoided by fellow male roles in my life. |
