1. Where were you born and where are you from ?

Mexico City 

2. What is your first memory connected to the art world ?

I can definitely say that my earliest memories are of being in nature—observing it, playing, making patterns and drawings. Simultaneously, there was music, which I have heard coming to me for as long as I can remember. Naturally, I was attracted by nature and art, imagination, and materialization.

3. Have you always worked in the art/design field ?

Yes.

4. What led you to the design creation ?

Imagination.

5. How would you describe your creative process and it influences ?

It is always difficult to understand how natural creating is for the artist. For me, it is the same as performing a natural function. It is like engaging in any daily activity—something that happens to be what I was born to do. Therefore, in my eyes, it loses the character of a special virtue. I quote Copland here in detail. When it comes to the question of inspiration, I do not truly ask myself if I am inspired. It is more a moment of my own nature that compels me to act or not to act.

6. Could you describe a typical day of your work ?

It would be difficult; each day is different, and each day I am different.

7. Why did you choose the specific materials you work with ?

My initial sculptural works had to be crafted from concrete. As an architect, my relationship with this material had been shaped exclusively through monumental projects and architectural spaces. The desire to explore concrete from a lighter, more accessible perspective, conveying a message that transcends the concept of “monumental,” has been with me since my younger years. In this spirit, the series of sculptures exhibited at Philia, along with six additional pieces yet to be unveiled, represent both the beginning and the culmination of my sculptural exploration with this material. For the past 4 months I’ve been traveling and of course I’ve absorbed an unimaginable amount of information and inspiration, which is swiftly persuading me to abandon this material. As mentioned before, all this will soon be unveiled through Philia.

8. What are the technical particularities of your creations ?

It depends entirely on the material, but I often find myself facing the challenge of transferring the scale I envisioned.

9. What advices could you give to beginning artists who would like to create sculptural design works ?

Imagine.

10. If your works had to belong to a design movement, in which one would you define it ?

Open to interpretation by those who contemplate the pieces.

11. What designers and artists have influenced you ?

Nature is the absolute first thing that influences my work. It is also deeply inspired by Mexican and Arabic landscapes. But I can mention a true admiration for Isamu Noguchi, Hassan Fathy, Sandi Hilal, Nacer Khemir, and Boris Acket. But many others are left to mention.
