Born in 1967 in Zacatecas, in the semi-desert north of Mexico, he has developed since the late 1980s an artistic practice centered on materiality, territory, and memory. His career has led him to participate in several artist residencies in France, Spain, and Canada, as well as to exhibit internationally in various cities.

His training as an electronic systems engineer fostered his interest in multimedia art, particularly digital art, installation, and street theatre performances. His works have been presented in several cities around the world as part of group exhibitions.

In 2010, he took part in an artist residency program resulting from a cultural exchange between the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ) and Mexico’s Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (FONCA). From that period onward, he chose to settle in Canada while voluntarily withdrawing from traditional gallery and museum circuits, initiating an introspective approach related to the migratory experience and a reflection on the artist’s place between creation, identity, and the art market.

Since then, his practice has been rooted in a personal research in which material, time, and memory have become the primary vectors of his visual language.
