Art served as a mechanism to express the cultural separation that I felt after my arrival in the United States. The vocabulary of my work is based on a variety of sources, including the immigrant experience in America and the duality between the inherited and acquired culture. As I navigated through the process of printmaking, each work became a discovery that pushed its own limit and the notions of boundaries. It allowed me to map a territory through the accumulation of images. Over time it expanded into a hybrid reflection of a culture that repeats and transforms itself into a visual language that is constantly renewed through a non-linear progression.

As an artist and immigrant, my cultural baggage is maintained and recycled, through the assimilation of information in order to create distinct forms that can easily adapt to many environments and surfaces. The chaos of accumulation provides a sense of freedom that is grounded in the diversity of contemporary culture. My interpretation of diversity surpasses appearance; it has its roots on Baroque ideology; which was an attempt to reflect natural ways to institutionalize linguistic behavior. Within the Latin American context the Baroque methodology was unable to reproduce the reality of daily life with precision, resulting in a depletion of images that seem fragmented and twisted. It is through fragments and the translation of reality into imagery is where I currently situate my concept.

We live in a world of chaos and order surrounded by an atmosphere of tension and anxiety. My work exists within this struggle. The images of made up organisms conflicting against themselves strive towards a fragmented beauty and order, and between dimensions, that goes beyond comprehension. History is organic, where the rational and abstract, are brought together in a vigorous state of play.
