Researching and producing through the fields of traditional printing techniques, photography, book art and drawing, and then expand those disciplines into digital media, has been the main focus of my professional journey.
​
I studied Scientific Photography at the UNAM Sciences Faculty and achieved a Visual Arts degree at the UNAM Design and Arts Faculty with the Design and Development of Android Apps Specialization at San Carlos Academy.
Throughout my professional development at the Carlos Olachea's Printing Investigation my graphic art was selected at the 16th Small Graphic Forms Triennial (Lodz, Poland), the Artist Books Show of the 38th International Book Fair of the Mineria Palace (Mexico City) and the San José Festival’s exhibition named “Entre mujeres toluqueñas” (Toluca, Mexico).
I also took part of the CRITS ICDAC-MUAC Art Sessions and the Thrid Interuniversity Art Students Meeting UNAM UAEMex 2017 with the photographic and printing investigation titled “The No Postcards: Non Turistic Landscapes at Toluca Valley”; the same project managed me to get the Research Methodologies Training Scholarship SEP FUNAM (Salamanca, Spain), where I developed a postcards photography productions hand by hand with the students of the Heritage’s Evaluation and Management Master at the Geography and History Faculty of Salamanca University.
In the second half of 2022 I have been involved in the activities of two independent local collectives: Toluca Análogo and Archivo Reyes; with the first one I have been working on alternative uses of the contemporary chemical photography, experimenting with of traditional photographic film printing, moreover mixing it with digital approaches that expand the horizons and allow new experiences of the image to the spectator.
With Archivo Reyes I took part in the workshop “Management and restoration of film material” at the Cineteca Mexiquense, where also the final results were projected on november 6th of 2022. Besides the restoration and archiving results, I manually intervened in the emulsion of some 70’s mexican cigarettes and beer commercials, and join them for its later digitizing, creating a GIF image titled “Page of ten sephirots” that compares two opposites concepts: body’s pleasure through the marketing strategy of the video, and the spiritual ecstasy of the soul when it conquers the 10 cabalistic sephiroth; the film represents the tangible side of the human perception, and the GIF image is the non tangible but verifiable experience.
