First generation immigrant, born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico. I had to leave my country at 19, a plan that took 4 years to accomplish. Life for me as an adventurer started then. However, life as an artist really starts after I moved to the beautiful State of Texas after another 4 year stint in Spain, where I graduated with a Masters in Film Direction. In over 16 years of living in central Texas I’ve fallen in love over and over, with its artistic diversity, its people, its ecosystems of delicate balance, forces of nature and destruction, which in exchange, have helped me evolve and profusely redefine myself as a person and a filmmaker. This is why, it is with great honor that I shine the light on others where I can.

Artist Statement of Work

Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):

Witnessing miracles can be an everyday thing if you know where to look. Becoming that window for others to gaze onto new unfound beauty, stories that change your heart, that activate your community, the ones that make an impact for those in need, the images that make you feel. It's more than an art or a gift, it's for me a kind of responsibility that comes with a passion for truth and an unregrettable lust for life. Where there's a story and there's art, there's beauty to behold. There's great joy in becoming a window to beauty, to the virtue of a storyteller or the chronist of the events that redefine, preserve and shine a light on our culture and perspective. I'll keep doing it until there's no more light left to shine.
