Told by pictures

Short stories told through drawings, paintings and illustrations

Since I left the city of my birth, Ciudad de Mexico, I started an art journal. I create drawings, paintings and illustrations from every outstanding, inspiring scene I witness. I love working with traditional materials in traditional ways, using paint on canvas or ink on paper. I love sharing stories through images I create. It both kind and fun to do.

Paintings on canvas

Lluvia de Oro tree. Its yellow flowers bloom during the summer. The hotter the weather the more beautiful.

Aluxes looking after corn fields. Mythical creatures living in the Yucatán.

Digital illustrations

Although I refused adopting her at the begining, Jade became a great companion and emotional support for my daughter. We lived in a house with traditional tiles that could not be missing from this illustration.
Bathing Jade, she loves bathing time.
I noticed how cute kittens are when they explore the world, and I started to take pictures of every single cute scene.
New kitten was named Rose and started exploring her new home.
For a few years, I worked as a pet sitter. My first night taking care of a friendly Basset Hound named Señor Pepe, I heard his howling for hours. The poor little guy missed his human a lot :.(
The first day I took care of Trixie, the chihuahua, she didn’t want to eat anything because she missed her human so much 🙁
When I was sitting Sirena and Hanna, they waited anxiously and happily for the dog daycare van to arrive.
