Welcome to My World

Born in Mexico City in the late 60s, my journey has been fueled by an unwavering passion for travel and art. This vibrant cultural background has profoundly shaped my perspective and creative expression. I earned my degree in Business Administration from Universidad Iberoamericana, initially with aspirations of conquering Wall Street. However, my true calling emerged through innovative screen printing and artistic endeavors, culminating in the successful establishment of a business specializing in printing paper, textiles, ceramics, glass, acrylics, and packaging for beauty and wellness products. This diverse experience set the foundation for my exploration into photography, where I continue to express my artistic vision.

In 2006, I moved to the United States, sparking a profound shift in my creativity and passion for photography. Since beginning my journey in 2018, I have immersed myself, continuously evolving and refining my skills, driven by a commitment to excellence. 

About my work

Over the past three years, I have relied on my Leica 246 Monochrome, an extraordinary tool that has truly elevated my artistic expression. This remarkable camera allows me to capture the beauty of candid moments in stunning black and white with unparalleled precision.

I am drawn to the unexpected and find elegance in imperfection, particularly through low-light situations, high-contrast scenes, and a sense of intimacy that reflects personal stories. My photography embraces abstraction and minimalism, infusing a magical quality into each image while inviting viewers to explore the narratives within.

Black and white photography enables me to convey richness and mystery while remaining simple yet profound and timeless. As a storyteller, I aim to evoke emotion and inspire viewers to engage their imagination, crafting their interpretations of the moments I capture.
