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.

Digital illustrations

Kitten exploring home
New kitten was named Rose and started exploring her new home.
Although I refused adopting her at the begining, Jade became a great companion and emotional support for my daughter.
I noticed how cute kittens are when they explore the world and started to take pictures every time she touched my heart.
