My work constructs abstract spaces shaped by memory, identity, and the layered experience of living between cultures.

I work from internal images  the fragments of memory, sensation, and imagination that surface before language. My identity has always been layered: Mexican and Jewish, shaped by families who migrated from Lithuania, Poland, and Cuba, and later myself an immigrant in the United States. Living between cultures taught me to see the world through multiple perspectives at once. That sense of displacement and multiplicity forms the foundation of my visual language.

Each painting begins in silence, in the moment where nothing has taken shape and the first impulse emerges. I do not start with a fixed image. I allow stains, fragments, and accidents to become part of the vocabulary, letting intuition guide the logic of the composition. My background in industrial design informs the structural intelligence that develops inside the abstraction  edges, tensions, spatial negotiations, and systems of order that appear and dissolve. The work is not designed; it is revealed through a dialogue with the unknown.

The images I construct come from the way we “learn to see”: traces of memory, after-visions, unresolved thoughts, archetypal forms, and sensations that appear when the mind drifts between attention and interiority. In my paintings, shadows may have more than one direction and perspectives can overlap. This is intentional  a reflection of how internal images exist before they align with reality. The paintings become psychological spaces where contradictions coexist and meaning emerges slowly.
