PROJECT DESCRIPTION
My art project in Guapamacátaro was about ‘migration’ because this issue affects most part of families in town. I decided to make ceramics at Gustavo Bernal’s Workshop in Tlalpujahua because this material -clay- is very useful for me to work ‘identity’ and it is a beautiful and inspiring place too!…At the end, I installed my art pieces in the river near the Hacienda.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I want to find new boundaries in my art and at the same time to give importance to traditional techniques. I work between figurative and in an abstract way, because I am also interested in the links that people can make with my art pieces.
