As an Illustrator he has had more than 28 International awards and as a painter has shown his artwork in more then 30 Galleries in Mexico, US, Spain and Dubai. His primary concern is the environment and Justice, most of his art is done in recycled and funky materials that are discarded or bought at very sheep prices in yard sales, but the dumpsters in the US be his favorite area to gather material for his art. Cardboard boxes, old anf vintage furniture, vinil LP albums, old windows and doors. nHis main Idea behind is art is to show beauty on subjects of despair. He did the Art for Gaza in Dubai with other artists and has participated in many charity events around Dubai. The fact that you can take something that is discarded and convert it in to a vehicle to portray a message, to be beautiful and give that tree that lived somewhere far away and housed hundreds of organism a secons chance is what pushes me forward.
His cultural background from Mexico is also something that inspires him specially the pre-columbian era and also the Day of the Dead. This Mega is in honor of Day of the Dead.
