She is the author and illustrator of the fictional novel A PELAME, published by the independent press Notanpüan, and also wrote short novels Tattoos and Death and Spontaneous Generation.

 

 

Deeply committed to community work, she taught painting to children with terminal illnesses and motor disabilities at the Gutiérrez Hospital as part of Vergel, an art initiative led by Catalina León.She has received numerous scholarships, including the Proyectarte Scholarship by Eva Grinstein, the ABC Scholarship, the National Fund for the Arts’ Training Scholarship, and the Oxenford Travel Scholarship.

Solo exhibitions include spaces like Bikini Wax (CDMX), Interior 2.1 (Guadalajara), and galleries such as Adhesivo Contemporary, Salón Silicón, and La Nao in Mexico City.

 

 

The work observes the parallel border between nature and culture, the animal as a precondition for the human, and the zone of indiscernibility between desire and the way in which it is represented.

A remarkable technical aptitude gave way to the style of great visual tenor that characterizes her painting, idiosyncratically defined by the artist herself as a “Grotesque-Passionate Baroque”. These complex and excessive figurations, which can be understood as a set of dynamic links between pictorial intertextualities, sociopolitical allegories and private evocations, are also complemented by periodic incursions into the fields of Sculpture, Installation and Textile Art.

 

 

Her fascination with eroticism has necessarily translated into a mandate to physically involve the viewer, either from the deployment of immersive systems tending to exuberance or from the minimal delicacy of a graphite pencil stroke. In this sense, her body of work aims to generate intimate spaces for sensual interaction.
